Quantitation of CD4 (a), CD8 (b), CD68 (c), natural killer cells (d), neutrophils (e), eosinophils (f), mast cells (g), B cells (CD20) (h), plasma cells (i), total IgA (l), secretory IgA (m) and polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) (n) in the bronchial epithelium of non-decliners (n = 21), slow decliners (n = 14) and rapid decliners (n = 15) with COPD. Bar represents median value. Secretory IgA was significantly reduced in rapid decliners compared to non-decliners. Exact p value is reported in the graph (m)
