| Serum sample | No. positive samplesa | Percent positive | Mean (pg/ml) | Range (pg/ml) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CXCL9b | ||||
| AIR patients | 11/18 | 61 | 866.9 | (119 to 4271) |
| Normal individuals | 0/18 | 0 | 129.4 | (38.4 to 383.9) |

| AIR patientsb | 7/18 | 39 | 5.15 | (0.13 to 38.5) |
| Normal individuals | 0/18 | 0 | 1.03 | (0.26 to 2.16) |
a
Serum samples from 18 individual AIR patients.
b
CXCL9 level > the 95th percentile of CXCL9 among normal individuals (> 384 pg/ml) were considered positive (multiplex assay).
c
IL-6 level > the 95th percentile of IL-6 among normal individuals (> 2.16 pg/ml) were considered positive (EIA assay).
