in order to determine if disordered cellular immune processes are present in the lungs of persons with asbestosis , we performed bronchoalveolar lavage ( bal ) on 26 patients with either crocidolite- or chrysotile-induced pulmonary asbestosis and measured the spontaneous release of gamma interferon ( ifn gamma ) , a marker of increased cellular immune activity .
