Table 3: Cytokines detected that display moderate to profound variability.

Thirteen (13) of the 36 cytokines detected in eosinophil lysates that display moderate variability (n = 14 donors). Profiling included standard donor lysate (see Fig. 1) as a normalization control as described in the Legend to Table 2. Moderate variability is defined as coefficient of variation (CV) > 50% and ≤ 100%; see Fig. 2 for an example of how this analysis was performed; npd, normalized pixel density. One cytokine (IL-16) of the 36 detected displays profound variability, with a CV > 100%.
