Abstract
Exposure to grain dust has been associated with a neutrophilic bronchi tis. In vitro studies suggest several possible mechanisms for recruitm ent of neutrophils, including direct chemotaxis to aqueous grain dust extracts and release of chemotactic activity by bronchial epithelial c ells in response to challenge with grain dust extracts.
