Total mast cell densities (A, D) and densities of each subtype, MC T (B, E) and MC TC (C, F), in lung tissue compartments of never-smoking controls and patients with CF and IPF. Data are presented as mast cells per mm2 lung tissue and presented for small airways (A-C) and pulmonary vessels (D-F). Horizontal line denotes median value. Data are expressed as scatter plots where horizontal lines denote median values. Statistical differences to never-smoking controls using Mann-Whitney where * denotes p < 0.05, and ** p < 0.01.
