Localization of epidermal-type fatty acid binding protein in alveolar macrophages and some alveolar type II epithelial cells in mouse lung. 2001
Department of Cell Biology, Graduate School of Medicine, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan.
Almost all alveolar macrophages in the mouse lung were strongly immunoreactive for epidermal-type fatty acid binding protein. At the electron microscope level, the immunoreactive material was localized diffusely in the cytoplasm but not within the nucleus. A certain number of alveolar type II epithelial cells were also immunoreactive for the protein with variable immunointensity, while a substantial number of the type II cells were immunonegative. No immunoreactive interstitial fibroblasts were encountered. Based on the present findings, possible roles of epidermal-type fatty acid binding protein in the host-defence mechanism played by alveolar macrophages are suggested.
