From: Characterisation of lung macrophage subpopulations in COPD patients and controls
The expression of macrophage markers in small macrophages compared to large macrophages. Flow cytometric analysis of enriched alveolar (A and B) and interstitial (C and D) macrophages for n = 13 and n = 11 COPD patients respectively per marker. Markers analysed were HLA-DR, CD14, CD38, CD36, CD206 and CD163. Data is expressed as the percentage of cells within each subpopulation expressing a specific marker (A and C) and the median fluorescence intensity (MFI) of each marker (B and D) and represents mean (SEM). Paired t test (two tailed) was performed for each marker. *,**,***Significantly increased between size populations within tissue compartment (p < 0.05, 0.01 and 0.001 respectively). #,##,###Significantly increased between tissue compartments for each size population (p < 0.05, 0.01 and 0.001 respectively)
