Human alveolar macrophages produced more reactive oxygen species in response to ultrafme titanium dioxide particles than rat alveolar macrophages (Rahman et al. 1997). In case of human alveolar macrophages, the peak level of chemiluminescence was reached in less than 1 min after the addition of ultrafine titanium dioxide particles. 

Rat alveolar macrophages obtained by bronchoalve-olar lavage showed a concentration- and time-dependent depression of zymosan induced and lu-dgenin enhanced chemiluminescence when exposed to formaldehyde (Schroers and Tilkes 1990). 

Tetrandrine was a potent inhibitor in vitro of zymosan-stimulated oxygen consumption, superoxide anion release, and hydrogen peroxide secretion by rat alveolar macrophages (Castranova et al. 1991). Tetrandrine (33 pg/kgxday) was also effective in vivo in preventing activation of alveolar macrophages after inhalation (117.5 12.5 mg/m of 1.5410.01 im mass median diameter for 6 h per day) or intratracheal instillation (40 mg in 0.3 ml of saline, specific surface 3.97 mVg) silica. Tetrandrine also inhibited stimulant-induced chemiluminescence by polymorphonuclear leucocytes. 

Lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence of yeast cell wall-stimulated alveolar macrophages gained by brochoalveolar lavage from patients suffering from sarcoidosis was significantly increased as compared with patients with other pulmonary disease or healthy volunteers (Winsel et al. 1987). 

Sarcoid alveolar macrophages produced less Csb and phorbol myristate acetate stimulated chemiluminescence than control alveolar macrophages (Williams et al. 1981). 

Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS EC 1.14.13.39) mRNA in bronchoalvelar lavage cells (using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction) and the magnitude of NO-dependent chemiluminescence from alveolar macrophages correlated with the pathology of silica-exposed coal miners chest radiographs (Castranova et al. 1998).
