Sažetak
Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) obtained fluiid contains cells recovered from the lumen of the lower respiratory tract. Due to the heterogeneity of BAL cells, a potential problem in analysis by flow cytometry lies in a proper gating of selected population. The inappropriate gate may lied to exclusion of cells of interest and inclusion of unwanted cells. A 38-year old man with a diagnosis of chronic pulmonary sarcoidosis was followed-up in the period from August 1990 through May 1995 and tested 11 times. Lymphocytes in BAL were characterized by a panel of monoclonal antibodies. Double color immunofluorescence analysis was carried out using a FACScan after establishing a lymphocyte gate. The principles and options as well as the advantages and disdvantages of various methods in selecting lymphocyte gate will be discussed.
