@paulacalipho, this term may be outside the scope of Uberon as it is "obtained after washing out of the lungs". Could you use BTO:0000155 for your purposes? If not, are you able to use EFO terms, as it may be more suitable to add the term there?

FYI @zoependlington

@bvarner-ebi Thanks for the feedback, I understand. We only use UBERON or CL to describe the origin of the cell lines. A solution would be to map to the general term respiratory system fluid/secretion, UBERON_0006538. You can close/remove this NTR if you wish.
