Morphometric Analysis of Mouse Airways After Chronic Allergen Challenge
Abstract
Understanding the mechanisms of airway remodeling in chronic allergic conditions such as asthma is increasingly dependent on the use of animal models. Techniques for quantifying structural changes are required that are reproducible and responsive and that can be applied to different staining techniques in both human and animal airway tissues. Here, we characterize a morphometric technique to quantify changes in extracellular matrix and …
