ASC: response in cell culture stimulated by A. lumbricoides, BLOM: response in cell culture stimulated by B. tropicalis, DERM: response in cell culture stimulated by D. pteronyssinus, MITO: response in cell culture stimulated by pokeweed mitogen, NC: response in nonstimulated cell culture; γ: Goodman and Kruskal’s γ, P: P-value of chi-square test of independence; Strength of association: * … weak (0.25 < |γ| < =0.5)

** … moderate (0.50 < |γ| < =0.75); *** … strong (0.75 < |γ| < =1); Significant estimates (P<0.05) are shown in bold
