Two methods of fixation, intravascular perfusion and intratracheal instillation, were compared with regard to the number, distribution and appearance of [hamster] airway and alveolar macrophages. With instillation of fixative, the number of airway macrophages present was reduced to only 32.6% of that seen after intravascular perfusion. Macrophages may have important physiologic and pathologic roles in the airways. The method of fixation is crucial for preservation of their numbers and location.
