IgE responses to SmCB1 in exposed human subjects. Archived sera obtained from egg-positive and egg-negative (i.e. putatively resistant) subjects at the time of enrollment were assayed for IgE (A) and IgG4 responses (B) to SWAP and SmCB1 by ELISA. Boxes show the interquartile range and the median values obtained. Whiskers indicate the ranges of the data. P values were calculated by Dunn's post-test following Kruskal-Wallis test. Number of individuals in each group: egg-positive (n = 13) egg-negative (n = 8).
