Fig. 2From: Lung Inflammation in alpha-1-antitrypsin deficient individuals with normal lung functionIncreased pro-inflammatory mediators in the epithelial lining fluid (ELF) of alpha1- antitrypsin individuals. The concentration of pro-inflammatory cytokines was measured by ELISA and expressed as pg/ml levels of analyte in the ELF. A IL-8; B IL-6; C IL-1β; and D LTB4. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.005, and ***P < 0.0005Back to article page
