(A, B) mRNA expression of GRα, GRβ, GRP and GRγ isoforms in purified eosinophils or PBMC expressed as 1/ΔCt using 18S as a control (C, D) the ratio of GRβ, GRP and GRγ isoform mRNA expression to GRα mRNA expression in purified eosinophils or PBMC. Symbols represent the values from individual healthy controls (h; closed black circles); GC-sensitive patients with HES (s; open black circles) and GC-resistant patients with HES (r; closed gray circles). The horizontal lines denote the geometric means for each group. *p < 0.05
