PTPRC and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: Sections of distal lung tissues from 17 COPD and 25 control patients were obtained, from a previously described cohort (Dupin et al., 2019), and labeled to detect CD8+ T cells, identified as cells positive for CD8 staining and fibrocytes, identified as cells dual positive for FSP1 and CD45 double staining (Figure 1—figure supplement 1A–D).
