Reduction of ciliary beat frequency in vitro by sputum from patients with bronchiectasis: a serine proteinase effect.

We have examined the effect of adding elastase positive sputum from six patients with purulent bronchiectasis on the ciliary beat frequency of nasal epithelium from normal subjects.
