Abstract
Quantitative measurements of immunoglobulins E, A and G were made in tracheobronchial secretion and serum of thirty-four patients in association with bronchoscopy. Measurable quantities of all three immunoglobulins were found in both secretion and serum in all patients, except in one person, in whom IgA was found neither in the secretion nor the serum, and in another person in whom no measurable IgG was found in the secretion.
