Table 2. Comparison of response to rhinovirus 16 between healthy and asthmatic donors.

Parameter	Healthy donors	Asthmatic donors
IFNα (pg/ml)	155 (47–360)	213 (149–430)
IP-10 (pg/ml)	7956 (4056–9920)	7729 (5806–9375)
IL-6 (pg/ml)	297 (150–412)	295 (150–1702)
MxA (cDNA fold induction)	16.2 (1.8–30.1)	3.85 (2.7–6.8)*
OAS (cDNA fold induction)	4.6 (3.1–16.7)	2.1 (1.5–5.9)**

Data is presented as median (interquartile range).

*MxA expression was significantly lower in asthmatic donors p = 0.0182.
