Transcription profiling of human bronchioloalveolar lavage (BAL) not used for diagnostic purposes taken from patients with LF syndrome and SOS of stage II active disease
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Cells from bronchioloalveolar lavage (BAL) not used for diagnostic purpose were taken from patients with LF syndrome and SOS of stage II active disease. The SOS samples were divided in two groups by the means of CD4+-/CD8+-cell ratio < 5 or > 5, respectively. At least five samples of each group were pooled. In all cases clinical diagnosis was established according to the criteria of the ATS-ERS consensus statement {Costabel, 1999 #68}. In addition diagnosis was confirmed by transbronchial biopsies and lymphocytic, T-helper dominated alveolitis assessed in BAL. An informed consent was obtained from the patients. The patient data were anonymized prior to use in the laboratory.
