Figure 2

Immunofluorescence Microscopy of hBDs in A549 cells treated with cigarette smoke extract. Green = human β-defensin (Alexafluor 488), Blue = nuclei (DAPI). A. hBD3 protein is observed in punctate staining in A549 cells (White arrow points to punctate staining). B. hBD4 protein is observed in heavily punctate staining in A549 cells (White arrow points to punctate staining).
