Figure 2. Plasma levels of CCL5 chemokine and correlation with total IgE.
CCL5 chemokine levels were measured using a specific ELISA. No significant increase in CCL5 protein levels was observed in patients with asthma as compared to normal controls (A). Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD). *P<0.05. No correlation was found between CCL5 and total IgE in the plasma of patients with asthma based on Pearson’s test (B).
ELISA: enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; IgE: immunoglobulin E
