Identification of novel biomarkers for silicosis could be helpful for disease diagnosis and pathophysiological mechanism exploration. Our study aims to investigate the Clara cell secretory 16-kd protein (CC16) and interleukin-12 (IL-12) levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in patients with silicosis at various stages.
