Exosomes/microvesiclescontaining microRNAs were isolated from Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL) Fluid. Agilent Bio-Analyzer was used to quantitate microRNA recovery. 1 μl per sample run on BioAnalyzer 2100 with the Small RNA Chip kit. MIcroRNA seen at 20–40 nt, additional peaks in electropherogram represent tRNA and other small RNAs. (RLL: right lower lobe; RUL: right upper lobe). (TIFF 563 kb

Correlation of NanoString nCounter microRNA assay technical replicates. Technical replicates of alveolar macrophage total RNA were run on the NanoString nCounter microRNA assay. Strong correlation was seen between replicates (rho = 0.987 P < 0.0001). (PDF 67 kb
