ECM specific antibody producing cells. The numbers of IgM (A,B,C) and IgG1 (B) antibody producing cells against decorin, collagen and elastin in spleen (A,B) and lung (C) are depicted. In A) the numbers of anti-decorin IgM and IgG1 antibody producing cells in spleen are shown for the 3 months exposed mice. In B) the numbers of anti-decorin, -collagen -and elastin IgM antibody producing cells and anti-decorin IgG1 antibody producing cells in spleen are shown for the 6 months exposed mice. In C) the numbers of anti-decorin, -collagen -and elastin IgM antibody producing cells in lung are shown for the 6 months exposed mice. * indicates p < 0.05.
