Figure 1

BAL fluid CCL22 and CCL17 in fibrotic lung diseases. BAL fluid levels of CCL22 and CCL17 were determined by sensitive ELISAs. CCL22 and CCL17 levels were significantly higher in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) than in those with CVD-IP and healthy volunteers (A, B). In IPF patients, BAL fluid CCL22 levels correlated significantly with CCL17 levels (C). IPF, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; HV, healthy volunteers; CVD-IP, collagen vascular disease with interstitial pneumonia; Sar, sarcoidosis.
