Study of the rhealogic properties of canine tracheal mucous secretions and their relationship with tracheal mucociliary clearance

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5144783

Results are reported from an analysis of both the biochemical and rheologic properties of tracheobronchial mucus and their relationship with in vivo mucociliary clearance. Existing techniques of mucous collection, mucociliary clearance determined by a radioisotope technique, and rheologic testing were employed in purebred female beagles.
