Asthma status and pneumococcal protein antibody levels

Serotype	Pneumococcal Protein Antibody Levels^*		p-value^**
	Individuals with asthma (n=16)	Individuals without asthma (n=14)
Anti-PspA (μg/mL)	2.02±0.28	2.12±0.26	0.80
Anti-PcpA (μg/mL)	1.75±0.20	2.02±0.16	0.31
Anti-PspC (μg/mL)	1.97±0.35	1.92±0.30	0.92
Anti-PLY (μg/mL)	−0.93±0.34^**	−0.70±0.29^**	0.62

Natural log-transformed antibody concentration and negative value indicates original lab values to be between 0 and 1.
