Table 1.

Summary table representing the mean responses of CBMC and peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples to control stimuli and allergens, after supplementation with vitamin E or vitamin C. The mean change in response is shown for 70 CBMC samples and 18 PBMC samples, after supplementation with vitamin E, and for 51 CBMC and 18 PBMC samples, after supplementation with vitamin C. Significant p values for differences in responses between paired samples in cultures with or without vitamin E/vitamin C supplementation are shown on the relevant panels.
