Figure 5

The diameter of alveolar and interstitial macrophages in lung resected tissue. Alveolar (AM) and interstitial (IM) macrophages from never smokers (NS) (n = 11) (A), smoking controls (S) (n = 15) (B) and COPD patients (COPD) (n = 12) (C) were identified in FFPE resected lung tissue by co-expression of CX3CR1 and CD14 and the diameter of each cell was measured. Data are shown as the percentage of macrophage population measuring a certain diameter (A-C) or individual cell diameters for IMs (D) and AMs (E) with median and interquartile range. Mann-whitney t-tests were performed between IM and AMs. One way ANOVA followed by Tukey-Kramer Multiple Comparisons Test were performed between subject groups. **,***Significant difference (p < 0.01, < 0.001 respectively)
