Interleukin-12 (IL-12) production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from allergic and non-allergic women in response to stimulation of the adaptive immune system, at pregnancy and 2 years after measured by enzyme-linked immunospot assay (ELISPOT). Results are expressed as the ratio between stimulated PBMCs and unstimulated PBMCs (stimulation index). (a) Phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) (1 µg/ml)-stimulated cells. (b) Cat allergen (8 kU/ml)-stimulated cells. (c) Birch allergen (8 kU/ml)-stimulated cells. ○, outliers. Boxes cover the middle 50% of the data values, between the 25th and 75th percentiles, the central square being the median. Lines extend out to non-outlier maximum and non-outlier minimum.
