Fig. 1 Flow chart of identifying macrophage population for assessing size distribution. Sputum or BAL cells were stained with anti-CD14-APC, anti-HLA-DR-PerCP, anti-CD66b-FITC, anti-CD68-PE and anti-CD45-APC-Cy7 and data acquired by flow cytometry. The flow chart depicts the process of selecting the lung macrophage population of interest following acquisition.

Fig. 4 Relationship between number of small macrophages and number of neutrophils. Absolute number of small macrophages for each sample (y-axis), calculated for each sample by multiplying the fraction of small macrophages by the number of macrophages measured in BAL, plotted against the absolute number of neutrophils measured in BAL (x-axis). The rs value represents the Spearman correlation. Journal of Cystic Fibrosis 2012 11, 201-208DOI: (10.1016/j.jcf.2011.11.008) Copyright © 2011 European Cystic Fibrosis Society Terms and Conditions
Fig. 5 Relationship between proportion of small macrophages and proportion of blood monocytes. Data are reported as percentage of small macrophages for each sample (y-axis) as described above and plotted against the percentage of monocytes, calculated by monocyte count/mL of the total white cell count/mL (x-axis). The rp value represents the Pearson correlation. Journal of Cystic Fibrosis 2012 11, 201-208DOI: (10.1016/j.jcf.2011.11.008) Copyright © 2011 European Cystic Fibrosis Society Terms and Conditions
