Outline of Final Research Achievements |
During whole lung lavage, the concentration of GM-CSF autoantibody in the lavage fluid decreased serially to 0.1% of the first lavage fluid, whereas GM-CSF production by alveolar type II cells remained and form immune complex with GM-CSF autoantibody entered into the alveoli from the blood. The complex may be gradually absorbed by macrophages. These reactions can be expressed as a mathematical equations. Here, we noticed that the initial conditions such as GM-CSF production level and number of GM-CSF autoantibody molecules affect the simulation by the equations.
