Proteomics as the Tool to Search for Lung Disease Markers in Bronchoalveolar Lavage
1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
Most lung disorders are known to be associated to considerable modifications of surfactant composition. Numerous of these abnormalities have been exploited in the past to diagnose lung diseases, allowing proper treatment and follow-up. Diagnosis was then based on phospholipid content, surface tension and cytological features of the epithelial lining fluid (ELF), sampled by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) during...
