Abstract excerpt
Pleural mononuclear phagocytes (PleMP) were isolated from normal rats by pleural lavage and compared with autologous peritoneal (PerMP) and bronchoalveolar mononuclear phagocytes (BAMP) isolated by peritoneal and bronchoalveolar lavage, respectively. The phagocytic activity of PleMP, PerMP, and B...
