Reticular Basement Membrane Vessels Are Increased in COPD Bronchial Mucosa by Both Factor VIII and Collagen IV Immunostaining and Are Hyperpermeable

<table>Comparison of the number, area, and MVS of vessels in the lamina propria (LP). In both COPD and normal groups, Collagen IV staining outlines bigger vessels but not more vessels. MVS: mean vascular size (area <i>μ</i>m²/No); C4: anti-Collagen IV antibody; F8: anti-Factor VIII antibody.</table>
