Movat's pentachrome technique was used to identify mucin, elastin and total collagen in these biopsies. The number of goblet cells (mucin+) was counted as a percentage of the total number of epithelial cells and the percentage mucin epithelial area measured. The percentage area of elastic fibres and total collagen within the submucosa was also measured, and the morphology of the elastic fibres classified. Participants in the asthma groups also had a CT scan to assess large airway morphometry.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The submucosal tissue elastin percentage was higher in both severe asthma groups (16.1% SAn, 18.9% SAs\/ex) compared with the HC (9.7%) but did not differ between asthma groups. There was a positive relationship between elastin and airway wall area measured by CT (n\u00a0=\u00a018\u201320, rho=0.544, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.024), which also related to an increase in elastic fibres with a thickened lamellar morphological appearance.
