Alveolar macrophage infiltration. Alveolar infiltration by CD68-positive cells (cells/0.087 mm2) at 60 min after envenomation in tissue samples from rats in the groups venom (Vn, n = 5), dexamethasone + venom (Dx + Vn, n = 5), and control (Cont, n = 3). Immunostaining for CD68 in the Cont (a), Vn (b), and Dx + Vn (c) groups (magnification, ×400 for all). CD68-positive cell counts (mean ± SEM), showing that alveolar macrophage infiltration was significantly greater in the Vn group (d). *P < 0.05 compared with Cont
