Figure 5

IgG, IgE and IgA positive cells in peripheral blood. Percentages of A) IgG, B) IgE and D) IgA positive cells in peripheral blood of COPD patients (closed symbols) and healthy individuals (open symbols) are depicted and divided in subgroups based on the presence of COPD and the current smoking status. The results of the Mann Whitney U tests are depicted in these figures. In C) the same results for IgA are depicted, but divided in current smokers (closed symbols) and non-smokers (open symbols). In this figure the result of the multiple linear regression analysis (i.e. corrected for having COPD) is depicted. * indicates that p < 0.05
