Percentage of CXCR6-expressing leukocytes in different circulating subpopulations from active and not active smoking chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients and aged-matched controls by flow cytometry. Heparinized whole blood was co-stained with specific markers for (A,B) neutrophils, (C,D) monocytes, and (E,F) lymphocytes and CXCR6. Blood samples were incubated or not with EDTA. Results are expressed as percentage of positive cells (n = 17 aged-matched controls, n = 17 active smokers COPD patients, n = 16 ex-smokers COPD patients). Values are expressed as mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05 or **P < 0.01 relative to values in the control group.
