this study demonstrates that while lung mononuclear cells from normal individuals spontaneously release little or no interferon ( less than 10 u/10 ( 6 ) cells per 24 h ) , those from patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis spontaneously release considerable amounts ( 65 +/- 20 u/10 ( 6 ) cells per 24 h , p less than 0.02 compared to normals ) .
