Abstract

A great deal of information about the pathophysiology of asthma and its treatment have been obtained through the use of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), especially in combination with airway biopsies. The introduction of highly sophisticated methods for examining BAL aspirate, including fluorocein activated cell scanning (FACS) analysis and molecular biology techniques has emphasized the potential power of this method of airway investigation. For those contemplating the use of BAL in asthma research programmes, we hope that this review will provide a useful insight into the current state of knowledge about the technique and its application, and that it will provide a solid platform for study design.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
