  1. Multiplex immunohistochemistry was performed, and cell phenotypes were quantified. The percentage of each cell phenotype in normal (n = 7) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF, n = 7) lung tissue was compared using Mann-Whitney U test. Effect size (Cohen’s D) was calculated for comparisons that were significantly different (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01). Avg, average
