Figure 5. Semi-quantitative analysis of immunostained cytospun BAL-cells.

Figure 5

(A) Baseline normalized expression levels (Subway/Control, S/C) for immunostaining of BAL-cells revealed an intensified response in asthmatics compared to healthy individuals for COX-1 (p = 0.054). Values >1 indicate an increase in concentration following subway air exposure and values <1 indicate a decrease. (B) Analysis of the subway air and control exposures as separate groups gave significantly lower COX-1 levels in asthmatics compared to healthy individuals at baseline levels (p = 0.03).
