Fig 1 Single and double staining of EP1, EP2, and EP4 immunoreactive CD68+ macrophages (a-c), MBP+ eosinophils (d-f), and elastase+ neutrophils (g-i) in sputum from atopic patients with asthma. Black arrows, single immunocytochemistry (red) of CD68+ macrophages (a), MBP+ eosinophils (d), and elastase+ neutrophils (g). Green arrows, single immunocytochemistry (brown) of EP1(b), EP2(e), and EP4(h) immunoreactive cells. Black arrowheads, double staining (brown/red) of EP1+/CD68+ macrophages (c), EP2+/MBP+ eosinophils (f), and EP4+/elastase+ neutrophils (i).
