The relationship between epithelial integrity (%) in the bronchial mucosa and the thickness of the ln γ2-chain (μm). Overall there was a negative correlation between the epithelial integrity and the ln γ2-chain thickness (r = -0.73, p < 0.001), whereas no significant correlations were observed within the respective patient group. Diamonds represent allergic asthmatics, squares represent non-allergic asthmatics and closed circles healthy controls.
