From: T lymphocyte insensitivity to corticosteroids in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
PHA/PMA induced IFNγ (A) and IL-2 (B) release (pg/ml) from cultured BAL lymphocytes from healthy non-smokers (HNS) (n = 10 light bars), healthy smokers (S) (n = 10 mid grey bars) and COPD patients (n = 14 dark grey bars). Cells were pre- treated for 2 hours with dexamethasone (0.01 - 1 μM) prior to 24 hours T cell stimulation with PHA/PMA (P/P) 10 μg/ml each. Data is presented as median (range).
