Materials and MethodsTissue Preparations Virus antibody-free rats of 1, 5, 10, and 18 days of postnatal age and adult rats (200+ g)(Charles River Breeding Laboratories, Wilmington, MA) were euthanized by intraperitoneal injection with sodium pentobarbital, and lungs fixed by insufflation with either acid alcohol (70% ethanol, 1% hydrochloric acid), 2% paraformaldehyde (buffered with 0.1 M phosphate), or Bouin's fixative. After 15 min, the lungs were trimmed and fixed an additional 15 min, dehydrated, and processed routinely for paraffin embedment. Five-to sevenmicron sections were cut and mounted on chrome alumcoated glass slides and stored at room temperature.Immunostaining Preparations Rabbit antiserum to mouse EGF (receptor grade) was purchased from Collaborative Research (Bedford, MA) or from Upstate Biotechnology (Lake Placid, NY). Antigen purification was by DEAE ion-exchange chromatography. Rabbit antiserum to bovine aFGF was purchased from Upstate Biotechnology. Antigen purification was by DEAE-blue chromatography. According to the manufacturer, the antiserum had a 10% cross-reactivity with bFGF. Rabbit antiserum to the leu 60-leu 98 fragment of bovine aFGF (aFGFfr) was purchased from Upstate Biotechnology. The antigen was a synthetic peptide representing that portion of aFGF that has the least homology with bFGF. The manufacturer specified that the aFGFfr had no cross-reactivity with bFGF. Monoclonal antibodies to bovine bFGF were purchased from Upstate Biotechnology. The ammonium sulfate-precipitated antigen was purified by Sephacryl S-300 and DEAE-52 chromatography. The antibody was produced by P3-X63-Ag8-U1 x BALB/c spleen cells. The manufacturer reported no cross-reactivity with aFGF.
