Development of a biomarker for lung inflammation in COPD through analysis of labelled leukocyte transit through the lung circulation

Measurement of pulmonary leukocyte margination could be a useful biomarker of lung inflammation in COPD, but analysis is complicated by recirculation of labeled leukocytes. 15 minutes of planar nuclear images were obtained after injecting autologous 99mTc-labeled leukocytes in 4 never-smoked control...
