Ten healthy volunteers were included in the study and participated in two sampling sessions. Blood, exhaled breath condensate (EBC) and PEx were collected at each session. 100L of breath were collected for each exhaled sample.

SP-A detection rates were 100%, 21%, and 89% for PEx, EBC and serum, respectively. Albumin was detected in PEx, but not in EBC. SP-A measurements in PEx showed good repeatability with an intra-individual coefficient of variation of 13%. Both SP-A and albumin showed significant correlation to mass of PEx (r(s)=0.93, p<0.001 and r(s)=0.86, p=0.003, respectively). Sampling and analysis of PEx is a valid non-invasive method to monitor RTLF proteins sampled from the lower respiratory tract, as demonstrated here by example of SP-A and albumin analysis.
