Characterization of the bronchoalveolar cellular response in experimental asbestosis. Different reactions depending on the fibrogenic potential
This was an animal experiment in male Wistar rats. Each rat received a single injection into the windpipe of saline (control), 5 mg of UICC chrysotile B asbestos, or 5 mg of very short 4T30 chrysotile fibers. Lung washings (bronchoalveolar lavage)…
