Expression of TLR9 in leukocytes during allergic rhinitis. Intracellular expression of TLR9, presented as MFIR, in different leukocytes in healthy controls (C), allergic patients outside season (O) and allergic patients during pollen season (P). Expression of TLR9 in neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, lymphocytes and immature granulocytes analyzed by flow cytometry. Expression of TLR9 in leukocytes in A) bone marrow (n = 23), B) peripheral blood (n = 27–29) and C) nasal lavage fluid (n = 27). Data are presented as mean ± SEM. ** p < 0.01
