Abstract

•Isolation and radiolabelling of eosinophils or neutrophils from asthmatics significantly activates them.•Corticosteroids alter eosinophil, but not neutrophil 99mTc-HMPAO radiolabelling efficiency.•Leukocyte activation as a result of manipulation ex vivo does not measurably alter lung sequestration.•Eosinophil migration through the lungs of asthmatic patients is slower than in healthy volunteers.
