Canine Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid Measurements for Bronchiectasis and Bronchomalacia

A dataset of neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) measurements from banked bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples from client-owned dogs. The data includes cell-free DNA concentrations, myeloperoxidase-DNA complex levels via ELISA, and confocal microscopy results for dogs with chronic bronchial diseases, bacterial bronchopneumonia, and healthy controls. The study was authored by Aurélie Lyssens and the dataset was last updated on 2026-03-18.

Use Cases

• Compare NET formation levels based on cell-free DNA concentrations across different canine respiratory disease groups.
• Investigate correlations between MPO-DNA complex levels and clinical parameters like neutrophil counts and duration of symptoms.
• Validate NET detection techniques in canine BALF samples using healthy and bacterial bronchopneumonia control groups.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• Measurements include multiple validated techniques: ELISA for MPO-DNA complexes, cfDNA quantification, and confocal microscopy.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 19.5 KB, indicating limited scope.
