From: Exhaled phospholipid transfer protein and hepatocyte growth factor receptor in lung adenocarcinoma
Particle flow rate (PFR) from the airways as well as five proteins in exhaled breath particles (EBP) were significantly higher in patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) compared to patients without LUAD. A PFR was significantly higher in patients with LUAD. B The Figure shows normalized protein expression (NPX) of phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP), hepatocyte growth factor (MET), carbonic anhydrase 4 (CA4), microfibrillar-associated protein 5 (MFAP5) and complement factor H-related protein 5 (CFHR5) before surgical removal of LUAD compared to patients without LUAD (control patients). Data are presented as mean ± SEM. Significance was defined as: p < 0.0001 (****), p < 0.001 (***), p < 0.01 (**), p < 0.05 (*), and p > 0.05 (not significant, ns)
