Figure 3From: Infusion of freshly isolated autologous bone marrow derived mononuclear cells prevents endotoxin-induced lung injury in an ex-vivo perfused swine modelFreshly isolated bone marrow nuclear cells moderated the increase in pulmonary vascular resistance induced by endotoxin. A. Comparison of effects of the fresh bone marrow cells and the blood buffy coat cells on the pulmonary vascular resistance response. B. Endotoxin-induced PVR rapidly recovered in preparations in which CD45(-) and cultured CD45neg cells were included but persisted in the presence of CD45(+). (n = 6 in each group, **P <0.01). PVR, pulmonary vascular resistance.Back to article page
