Exhaled breath particles as a novel tool to study lipid composition of epithelial lining fluid from the distal lung
Abstract Background Surfactant phospholipid (PL) composition plays an important role in lung diseases. We compared the PL composition of non-invasively collected exhaled breath particles (PEx) with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and induced sputum (ISP) at baseline and following endotoxin (LPS) challe...
