Damage-Associated Molecular Patterns and Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients

Figure 2

Correlations observed in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) between percentage of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) among mononuclear cells (MCs) and defensin (DEF/TP) (a) and heat shock protein-27 (HSP-27) (b). Correlations observed in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) between percentage of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) among all leukocytes and defensin (DEF) (c); hyaluronic acid (HA) (d); and surfactant protein A (SP-A) (e). All concentration data were corrected by total protein.
