Baseline β2-AR expression in fibrocytes from healthy subjects and patients with severe asthma. β2-AR expression in fibrocytes from untreated NANT cells of healthy subjects (n = 11) and severe asthma patients (n = 6) was determined by staining with antibodies for collagen I (Col I), CD45 and β2-AR (c-d), or their respective isotype controls (a-b) at day 0. Representative flow cytometry scatter plots from one experiment are shown. Surface (e-f) and whole cell (g-h) β2-AR expression was determined as percentage of β2-AR+ fibrocytes (Col I+/CD45+2-AR+ cells; e, g) and median fluorescence intensity (MFI) ratios (f, h). Horizontal lines represent the median of each group. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01
