Fig. 6From: Matrix metalloproteinase activity in the lung is increased in Hermansky-Pudlak syndromeMMP-2 and MMP-9 levels are increased in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of HPS patients. a Western blot for MMP-2 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from control and HPS patients. b Western blot for MMP-9 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from control and HPS1 patients. Dot plot depicting relative levels of MMP-2 and -9 in BAL fluid of control and HPS patients. Immunoblots are representative of at least two different blots (*p < 0.05, HPS vs control). Data are expressed as mean ± SE, and statistical significance was assessed using a Student’s unpaired t testBack to article page
