Correlation of Kerbs von Lungren 6 antigen with bronchoalveolar lavage fluid chemokine levels

Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) Kerbs von Lungren 6 antigen (KL-6) correlates with BALF epithelial-cell-derived neutrophil attractant 78 (ENA-78) (= 0.37, = 0.016) and BALF vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) (= 0.35, = 0.024).<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Kerbs von Lungren 6 antigen is a marker of alveolar inflammation but not of infection in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome"</p><p>http://ccforum.com/content/12/1/R12</p><p>Critical Care 2008;12(1):R12-R12.</p><p>Published online 23 Jan 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2374609.</p><p>
