a–d mRNA of innate immunity effectors (PRF-1, iNOS, GZMA, and GZMB); and e–h the NK-G2D system (IL-15, MIC-A, MIC-B, and KLRK1) expression (in relative units) were determined in esophagus biopsies from patients before and after six-food elimination diet (SFED) treatment, and healthy controls. Paired t-test compared EoE patients before and after SFED, while EoE patients (both before and after SFED) were compared with the control population by non-paired t-test. Horizontal bars indicate mean values (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001)
