ITGAM and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: We did not observe a statistical difference in the frequency any of the DC, monocyte, or T cells subsets assessed previously, nor in the total number of B cells (SSC-AlowCD45+CD3−CD19+), Neutrophils (SSC-AhighCD45+CD64−CD66b+CD11b+CD16+), or NKT (SSC-AlowCD45+CD19−CD3+CD56+) cells when comparing asthmatic and COPD donors to controls in both peripheral blood and lung tissue (Fig. 5d).
