Description
We present preliminary results of long-slit spectroscopic observations
of the extended emission line region (hereafter, EELR) in NGC 4388. We
detect broad emission lines in the line complexes Hα+[NII] and
[SII] which can be modelled by the superposition of several narrow
components. Multicomponent line profiles appear at positions very close
to the ionization cone axis. There is also some correspondence with the
radio emission, which suggests that there is interaction between the
radio jets and the ionized gas. We do not confirm the claim of a broad
Hα component (FWZI=4000 km/s) by Shields and Filippenko (1996).
