Figure 3.
Relative mRNA abundance of (A) TPSB2, (B) CPA3, (C) KIT, (D) GATA2, (E) SOCS2, (F) ENO2, (G) GPR56, (H) HDC, and (I) combinatorial MC/basophil gene metric between Eosinophilic COPD (E-COPD), Non-eosinophilic COPD (NE-COPD) and control participants. Bars represent median, with error bars representing Q1, Q3. Relative mRNA abundance compared between groups are expressed as 2−ΔCt relative to the housekeeping gene β-actin. Combinatorial gene metric based on ΔCt gene expression values. #p<0.02 versus control participants; *p<0.02 versus NE-COPD participants.
