These studies showed that experimental emphysema in the dog is initiated via the air-lung interface and not via the intravascular route. In in vivo experiments, in which papain or polymorphonuclear leukocyte homogenates (PMN) were instilled via a catheter into 1 lung, emphysema developed only in the lung directly receiving the papain or PMN, suggesting that there was no absorption or humoral transmission of an active substance to the opposite lung. In addition, 1,500 mg of papain administered intravenously to 1 dog did not produce lesions in either lung. In in vitro studies, emphysema was produced in excised lobes only when papain, PMN, or elastase was instilled into the bronchus and not when the lobes were perfused with these substances through the pulmonary artery. It appears that the air-lung interface is the site of initiation of the destructive changes of emphysema produced experimentally.
