Fig. 5From: Deficiency of innate-like T lymphocytes in chronic obstructive pulmonary diseaseGene expression patterns of CD1d (a) and MR1 (b) antigen presenting molecules in healthy controls (HC), stable COPD and AECOPD patients. a Significantly elevated CD1d gene expression was observed in stable COPD and AECOPD patient groups at the beginning of systemic steroid and antibiotic treatments. b Significantly elevated MR1 gene expression was assessed in stable COPD and AECOPD patients at the beginning of systemic steroid and antibiotic treatments. Data present here were derived from sixteen HC, ten stable COPD and ten AECOPD blood donors. Boxes show interquartile ranges (IQR), whiskers represent lowest and highest values, horizontal lines indicate median, and circles stand for outliers of 1.5 IQR. Asterisks represent significant p (* < 0.05, ** < 0.01, *** < 0.001) values. A.U.: arbitrary unitsBack to article page
