Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary toxicity studies typically use bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) to assess lung responses to particulate exposure, counting cells to measure inflammation.
- The study aimed to compare automated, flow cytometry, and manual counting methods for BAL cell influx after particle exposure, finding varying results depending on the toxicity of the particles and the timing of the counts.
- Results indicated that while overall counts agreed for less toxic particles or later time points, significant differences emerged with more toxic particles, suggesting manual and flow cytometry methods are more reliable when cytotoxicity is uncertain.
