the few tissue macrophage populations readily accessible to study both in the human and in animals. Since harvesting of these cells by bronchoal-veolar lavage was first described in 1961, alveolar macrophages have been extensively investigated. This population is the predominant cell type within the alveolus, and undoubtedly serves as the first line of host defense against inhaled organisms and soluble and particulate molecules. Early studies focussed on this endocytic role and delineated the cells ’ phagocytic and microbicidal capacities. More recent investigations demonstrated an extensive synthetic and secretory repertoire including lysozyme, neutral proteases, acid hydrolases and O2 metabolites. In addition, the complex immunoregulatory...
