FIGURE 7. Inhibition of allergic patients’ IgE binding to Bet v 1 by anti–2PAPB-PreS and anti–rBet v 1 Abs.
The percentage inhibition of IgE binding to rBet v 1 obtained with anti–2PAPB-PreS, anti–rBet v 1, or anti–PreS rabbit IgG Abs was determined for sera from 20 patients allergic to birch pollen. Data are displayed as box plots, for which 50% of the values are within the boxes; horizontal lines indicate the median values. Significant differences in inhibition, calculated using a Student t test, are indicated.
