Average numbers of CD23 molecules per CD23+ B cell and monocyte and concentrations of soluble CD23 in patients’ sera (in nanograms per milliliter) were measured in the blood of the 17 patients with grass pollen allergy (Table I).
ND, Numbers of CD23 molecules could not be calculated when less than 20 of the monocytes among the analyzed cells were positive for CD23.
