Figure 2From: Gene expression and biological processes influenced by deletion of Stat3 in pulmonary type II epithelial cellsSurfactant saturated phosphatidylcholine (SatPC) was significantly decreased in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from the Stat3Δ/Δ mice, n = 8 per group. Aliquots of BALF were extracted with chloroform/methanol (2:1) and SatPC was isolated with osmium tetroxide followed by measurement of phosphorus as described previously [12]. Statistical differences were analyzed by Student t-test.Back to article page
