Official Title: Study to Determine the Immune Response From Broncho-alveolar Cells Against Pigeon Specific Antigens

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to establish if cells present in lung tissue during extrinsic allergic alveolitis (EAA) are able to elicit an immune response against specific antigens. The hypothesis is: cells in BAL lavage fluid from patients with EAA will be responsive to specific antigens and this response can be measured using ELISPOT.
