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.
P < 0.001 compared to Sal/PBS.
