Macrophage Populations Isolated From Sham and Saline Intratracheally Instilled Mice: Maturity and Phenotype Data

Resident and recruited macrophages were identified via a chimeric mouse model. The macrophage populations of these chimeras were also assessed following sham and saline intratracheal instillation. Alveolar macrophages were collected via bronchoalveolar lavage and protein expression measured by flow cytometry. Macrophages were assessed for maturity and phenotype.
