From: Altered mucosal immune response after acute lung injury in a murine model of Ataxia Telangiectasia
ATM deficiency increases leukocyte recruitment after airway mucosal injury. (a) Atm -/- mice or control mice underwent acute lung injury (ALI) by intratracheal (i.t.) instillation of HCl and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed at different time points. Before ALI (b), 24 hours after ALI (c) and one week after ALI (d) BAL was performed and total cells (b-d) were enumerated (see Methods). Values represent the mean ± S.E.M. for n ≥ 4 mice.
