Depigmented-polymerised allergen extracts favour regulatory T cell-phenotype over effector phenotype. A Contour plots showing CD4⁺CD25⁺Foxp3^hi populations (regulatory phenotype) and CD4⁺CD25⁺Foxp3^low cells (effector phenotype) after 7-day culture with depigmented-polymerised (Depig-pol) or native HDM extracts. B Ratios of CD4⁺CD25⁺Foxp3^hi to CD4⁺CD25⁺Foxp3^low T cells from 7-day cultures stimulated with depigmented-polymerised or native extracts. N = 5, p values for paired t-test.
