The proportion of APRIL-expressing AMs in the lungs of control subjects, and patients with COPD alone, NSCLC alone or patients with both COPD and NSCLC: The percentages of APRIL-positive AMs in the lungs of NSC, SC, patients with COPD alone, NSCLC alone and both COPD and NSCLC are shown. The median and 5 and 95 % confidence intervals are shown in the box plots and the error bars in the box plots are standard deviations. * indicates p < 0.03 vs. NSC or vs. the group indicated
