Figure 5From: Characterisation of CD154+ T cells following ex vivo birch allergen stimulation defines a close relationship between T cell subsets in healthy volunteersSupporting evidence in favour of allergen specificity of the CD154+T cell assay. Data represents the Th2: Th1 ratio during the peak birch pollen season (April) and out of season (August – November) in (a) non-allergic and (b) birch-allergic individuals. (c-f) Th2: Th1 ratio following stimulation with the test allergen (to which the participant has IgE and clinical symptoms) compared to the Th2: Th1 ratio following stimulation with a control allergen (to which the participant has neither IgE nor clinical symptoms) in four representative participants.Back to article page
