BALF - contrast

This dataset was generated in an in vivo OECD TG 413 90-days nose-only inhalation study where Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to either 3R4F cigarette smoke or aerosols of the carbon heated tobacco product (CHTP) 1.2, a heat-not-burn platform. The study contains additional test groups that were examined following a systems toxicology approach (please refer to the study page for more detail on the study design). Free lung cells (FLCs) in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were characterized and quantified by flow cytometry and BALF was characterized using targeted proteomics. This dataset contains the statistics resulting from the comparison of treatment and control groups.
