Figure 1 Comparison of concentrations of sCD86 in BAL fluid from segments unchallenged or challenged with saline solution or allergen. Bars represent medians; statistical analysis was done using Wilcoxon signed-ranks test.

Figure 2 The concentration of sCD86 correlated with the numbers of macrophages (top left, A), lymphocytes (bottom left, C), or eosinophils (bottom right, D), but did not correlate with the number of neutrophils (top right, B) in BAL fluid. Correlations were determined by Spearman rank correlation coefficients.
