| Method |
Primary source abstract: "Fiberoptic bronchoscopy was used to obtain cytologic specimens from all lung lobes of 9 normal Beagle dogs. Three specimen collection techniques (bronchial lavage, bronchial brushing and bronchial pinch biopsy imprints) and two staining procedures (Wright-Giemsa and Papanicolaou) were used and evaluated." |
| Comments |
P.403 right column 2nd paragraph: "The larger diameter reported here for the PAM of rats (18 µm) is probably a result of the cell spreading and flattening that occur during cytocentrifugation. Because of this flattening artifact, it is important to reproduce the methods described here when attempting to reproduce these findings. Diameters of cells in suspension would of course be expected to be much smaller. It has been reported (primary source) that more than 95% of the PAM of dogs prepared using similar cytocentrifuge procedures are 10-15 µm in diameter, values that are slightly less than those reported in this study." |
