Bold denotes values P < 0.05

r_s, Spearman rank correlation coefficient. FEV₁, forced expiratory volume in 1 second. MFI, mean fluorescence intensity

MFI ratio indicates the ratio of receptor MFI to the corresponding FMO control MFI

% positive indicates the percentage of a receptor-positive alveolar macrophages to total alveolar macrophages
