Influences of nasal lavage collection-, processing- and storage methods on inflammatory markers--evaluation of a method for non-invasive sampling of epithelial lining fluid in cystic fibrosis and other respiratory diseases.
Abstract
Non-invasive sampling of airway epithelial-lining-fluid by nasal lavage (NL) is an emerging method to monitor allergy, infection and inflammation in patients with respiratory diseases. However, the influences of collection-, processing- and storage-methods have not been sufficiently evaluated and standardized.
