Abstract
Eight healthy volunteers were exposed to purified lipopolysaccharide ( LPS) by controlled inhalation. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) 3 hours af ter exposure revealed a pronounced neutrophilia, increase in lymphocyt es, fibronectin concentration, and decrease in alveolar macrophage pha gocytosis, as compared to a reference BAL.
