Figure 1From: Nanoparticle uptake by airway phagocytes after fungal spore challenge in murine allergic asthma and chronic bronchitis Illustration visualizing the study design. BAL cells of two well-described mouse models of lung diseases (OVA-allergic and Scnn1b-Tg, and their respective controls, i.e. sham-sensitized and WT mice) were sequentially exposed ex vivo to fungal spores and AuNP to assess their particle uptake capability by TEM and morphometric measurements.Back to article page
