[We quantified eosinophils and the concurrent expression of cytokines and chemokines probably responsible for the tissue eosinophilia in bronchial biopsies obtained from three groups of nonatopic subjects: (1) healthy nonsmokers (n = 7; FEV1 % predicted = 108 +/- 4 [mean +/- SEM]); (2) nonasthmatic smokers with chronic bronchitis (CB) in a stable phase of their disease (n = 11; FEV1 % predicted: 75 +/- 5); and (3) nonasthmatic subjects with CB who sought medical advice for an exacerbation of their condition (n = 9; FEV(1) % predicted: 61 +/- 8).].
