Figure 3

The landscape of CD163 and CD61. Representative images of (A) control and (B) COVID-19 infected lung sections showing increased CD163 staining in COVID-19 cases, with (C) mean Intensities of CD163 in control and COVID-19 samples. The difference in the mean intensities was calculated using Wilcox test Significance denoted by exact P values (n = 21 images from 6 control lung tissue sections and n = 157 images from 36 COVID-19 lung tissue sections). Detection of CD61 protein in representative sections of (D) control and (E) COVID-19 lung. (F) Mean intensity levels of CD61 staining in control and COVID-19 lungs. (n = 20 images from 6 control lung tissue section and n = 94 images from 26 COVID-19 lung tissue section). (G, H) Intensities of CD163 (n = 21 images/group) and CD61 (n = 20 images/group) protein in control and COVID-19 lung section after random sampling analysis. The difference in the mean intensities was calculated using the Wilcox test. Significance denoted by exact P values. (I, J) Correlation between ACE2-CD163 and ACE2-CD61 has been shown. A regression line was calculated using by fitting a linear model to the data. Label at the top shows correlation value (R) and P value for the linear fit.
