The distribution of PM-2K⁺ subsets. (a,b) CCR7⁺CD86⁺ and CCR7⁻CD86⁺ subsets in PM-2K⁺CD14⁺ and PM-2K⁺CD14⁻ subsets. Normal, N = 152, Asthma, N = 133. (c,d) CCR7⁺CD86⁺ and CCR7⁻CD86⁺ subset distribution in PM-2K⁺CD14⁺ and PM-2K⁺CD14⁻ subsets among normal individuals and patients (Pt) with different FEV1%/FVC% ratios (>80%, N = 28, <80%, N = 58); Normal, N = 152. Data are presented as box and whisker plots: boxes extend from the 25th to 75th percentiles, with a black line at the median; whiskers extend to show the highest and lowest values. *P < 0.05 was considered significant.
