Popis: In the neonatal rat lung, alveolar development occurs from postnatal Days 4–13, during which time there is a fourfold increase in interstitial fibroblasts. Factors influencing emergence of new septa and cell proliferation associated with septal elongation have yet to be identified, in part because of difficulties inherent in studying this process in vivo. Using flow cytometric analysis of the DNA content of freshly isolated lung fibroblasts, we found that proliferation, as indicated by the percentage of cells in S plus G2/M phases, peaked on postnatal Day 4 (P
