What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Bactericidal activity of human alveolar macrophage against S. pneumoniae in vitro
Time Frame: 24 hours
|
Alveolar macrophages from volunteers will be be assayed for their ability to kill pneumococci in vitro following treatment with glucocorticoids, apoptotic cells or both.
Participation of the subjects ends after bronchoscopy, and no clinical outcomes will be measured.
|
24 hours
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Mechanisms of human alveolar macrophage killing of S. pneumoniae in vitro
Time Frame: 24 hours
|
These same macrophages will also be assayed for production of mRNA and regulatory microRNAs (by RNA sequencing and quantitative real-time PCR and for cytokine and chemokine production.
