The Role of Interleukin-23 in the Early Development of Emphysema in HIV1+ Smokers
Figure 2
IL-23 expression in AM of HIV1− and HIV1+ smokers. Shown is TaqMan PCR analysis of IL-23 expression in AM of HIV1− nonsmokers (), HIV1− smokers (), HIV1− smokers with low DLCO (), HIV1+ nonsmokers (), and HIV1+ smokers with low DLCO (). Values represent mean relative gene expression in each phenotype compared to mean IL-23 expression in nonsmokers. values shown are based on the Kruskal-Wallis test.
