## Abstract Inhalation of diluted diesel engine exhaust results in the deposition of submicron carbonaceous particles in the respiratory airways. The particles are phagocytized by the pulmonary alveolar macrophages and cleared from the respiratory tract via the mucociliary escalator or through lymp

โฆ Synopsis
To investigate whether the proportion of activated T lymphocytes changes in an extracorporeal blood flow, we compared paired samples collected at the inlet and outlet lines of an artificial circuit for plasma separation, using a dual-immunofluorescence flow cytometric technique. In our series of materials from patients with rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus, the percentages of HLA-DR-positive cells in both CD4+ ( P < 0.01, n = 6 ) and CD8' ( P < 0.05, n = 10) subsets were significantly increased in the outlet lines compared with the inlet lines, suggesting that activated T lymphocytes pass through an extracorporeal blood circuit more easily than resting T lymphocytes.
