Table 2. Total and differential bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cell counts.

Bleo/PBS (n = 8) Bleo/IL-2-Bax (n = 8) Bleo/IL-2-PE (n = 6) Sal/PBS (n = 9)
Total (×106 cells/ml) 0.21 ± 0.03* 0.13 ± 0.02 0.11 ± 0.03 0.04 ± 0.004
Lymphocytes (%) 29 ± 7 13 ± 1 14 ± 4 0.5 ± 0.2
Macrophages (%) 63 ± 8 77 ± 2 79 ± 6 99 ± 0.3
Neutrophils (%) 7 ± 1.5 9 ± 1.5 9 ± 2.5 0.1 ± 0.1

Total and differential cell counts from the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid are presented as mean ± SEM for each group. Differential counts are given as a percentage of the total cell count.
