  1. Tables 1–4: (1) Genes with significantly greater expression in CD 56+ NLF cells compared to PB CD 56+ cells. NLF and PB counts are expressed as Mean ± SD. (2) Genes with significantly greater expression in PB CD 56+ cells compared to NLF CD 56+ cells. NLF and PB counts are expressed as Mean ± SD. (3) Gene differentially regulated by smoking status in NLF CD 56+ cells. Nonsmoker and Smoker Counts are expressed as Mean ± SD. (4) Genes differentially regulated by smoking status in PB CD 56+ cells. Nonsmoker and Smoker Counts are expressed as Mean ± SD. Shaded rows are values approaching statistical significance.
