Table 3 Correlation of IL-22 concentrations in lavage with distinct cell populations in the lavage samples of patients with pneumonia or lung cancer. Not all lavage cell populations were measured in all patients. Correlation was analyzed using Spearman’s rank-based correlation test after setting all IL-22 values <15 to 0
From: Interleukin-22 is elevated in lavage from patients with lung cancer and other pulmonary diseases
