PBMC from allergic non asthmatics (R, n = 12), allergic asthmatics (AR, n = 10) and non allergic asthmatics (A, n = 11), were stimulated with Derp 1 and cultured in the presence or absence of anti-ICOS, anti-CTLA4 or anti-CD28 antibodies. Treg cells, IL-10 and IFN-γ production by T-cells were assessed by flow cytometry. Results are expressed as mean of total T-cells ± SE and compared versus absence of anti-co-receptors antibodies conditions. R = allergic rhinitis; A R = allergic asthma and rhinitis. * = p < 0.05, ** = p < 0,01, *** = p < 0,001.
