Correlation between Th2-immune response and pneumococcal protein antibody levels

	Correlation with IL- 5 secretion by PBMC culture with HDM at day 7*	p-value	Correlation with IL-5 secretion by PBMC culture with SEB at day 7*	p-value
Anti-PspC (μg/mL)	0.33	0.080	−0.53	0.003
Anti-PLY (μg/mL)	0.23	0.225	−0.34	0.069
Anti-PspA (μg/mL)	0.27	0.156	−0.22	0.248
Anti-PcpA (μg/mL)	0.14	0.459	−0.19	0.326

Correlation was measured by Pearson’s correlation coefficient; HDM: house-dust mite; SEB: staphylococcal enterotoxin B
