Nasal Lavage Immune Cell Flow Cytometry. NLF cells were collected from nonsmokers at baseline and analyzed by flow cytometry for leukocyte markers. The majority of NLF squamous epithelial cells are gated out by FSC and SSC settings. CD45+ NLF leukocytes are identified in NLF cells. CD45+ NLF cells (P1) are negative for surface markers CD3 (T lymphocytes) CD4 (Helper T lymphocytes), and CD14 (monocytes). CD45+ NLF cells contained populations positive for CD16 (neutrophils, NK cells, P2) and CD56 (NK cells, P3). A representative image at baseline is shown. Open histograms: isotype matched control, P1. Shaded histograms: surface markers, P1.
