Has anyone got any special tips for determining  lymphocyte subsets in
BAL specimens?	Are mucolytics necessary? Do they improve results? Are
they detrimental? If you've used these enzymes and found them
advantageous, can you suggest a product and procedure? Also,how useful
is the information gained by such analyses in the clinical setting?
Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.
