Cytocentrifuge preparations of cells in BAL fluid following LPS inhalation. iPMLC (A), rPMLC (B), neutrophils (C), lymphocytes (D) and alveolar macrophages (AM) (E) were isolated from BAL fluid with high purity using FACS. PMLC are similar in morphology to blood monocytes and are a similar size to neutrophils, larger than lymphocytes and smaller than AM (Scale bar = 20 μm). Typical morphological features of each lineage were observed i.e. multi-lobular neutrophils, lymphocytes with high nucleus to cytoplasm ratio, and “fried egg”-shaped AM.
