Figure 4 Representative hematoxylin-eosin sections of lung tissue. A, SHAM group: Normal-appearing pneumocytes apposed to capillaries are observed, without evidence of inflammatory infiltrate, alveolar macrophages, or edema. B, CONTROL group: Alveolar septa are substantially widened, and there are multiple alveolar macrophages and significant edema. C, ATL group: Alveolar septa are minimally widened by interstitial infiltrate, very few alveolar macrophages are observed, and there is sparse edema.
