Expression of RAGE isoforms and its ligands in serum and sputum a) Expression of RAGE ligands in serum and sputum.The levels of enRAGE and AGE were assessed using ELISA. b). Expression of soluble RAGE isoforms in serum and sputum. The levels of endogenous soluble (es)RAGE and soluble (s)RAGE were assessed using ELISA in duplicates. The line in the scatter plots indicates the Mean ± SEM for each assay. (n ≥ 5). * p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***< 0.001.
