Figure 5From: Activated MCTC mast cells infiltrate diseased lung areas in cystic fibrosis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosisThe proportion of MC TC and MC T , expressed as the percentage of MC TC , in anatomical lung compartments in never-smoking controls and patients with CF and IPF. Data are presented for small airways (A), pulmonary vessels (B), and alveolar parenchyma (C). Data are presented as scatter plots, where horizontal lines denote median values. Statistical differences to never-smoking controls were analysed using Mann-Whitney and asterisks show significant difference where * denotes p < 0.05, ** < 0.01, and *** p < 0.001.Back to article page
