Core B 'remodeling histology' will support all four individual projects by providing quantitative analysis ofairway remodeling end-points in mice subjected to repetitive allergen challenge. The core will quantitatestructural remodeling changes in the airway focusing particular on peribronchial fibrosis and smooth musclechanges. The core will perform staining (trichrome), and immunostaining (a-smooth muscle actin, collagen IIIand V) of coded lung sections and utilize image analysis to quantify results. Additional assays available inthe core include total lung collagen measurements, and assessment of epithelial mucus expression.
