title: The lung profile. I. Normal pregnancy.
abstract: The lung profile run by two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography is described, including the L/S ratio and the percentages of disaturated acetone precipitated lecithin, PI, and PG. Results show that the accuracy of this profile increases that of the mature L/S ratio value even further, while decreasing the missed predictions with low L/S ratios to only about 7%.
