Oxidative injury is implicated in the development of chronic lung disease in preterm infants with respiratory distress. However, direct evidence of a causal role is limited and the source of reactive oxidants has not been identified. We have previously shown that protein carbonyl levels in tracheal aspirates correlate positively with myeloperoxidase, suggesting that neutrophil oxidants could be the source of this protein injury. We have extended these observations by measuring 3-chlorotyrosine, a specific biomarker of the neutrophil oxidant, hypochlorous acid, in tracheal aspirate proteins (144 samples) from 69 infants with birth weight
