Fig. 3From: Subcutaneous immunotherapy induces alterations in monocytes and dendritic cells homeostasis in allergic rhinitis patientsFrequency of TNFα producing cells (a) and relative amount of TNFα produced per cell (MFI) (b) among CD16− monocytes, following in vitro stimulation with Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (activated state) or without stimulation (basal state), in the control group, non-SIT group and SCIT group, immediately before treatment (T0) or 4 h after (T4). Mann–Whitney U test was used to compare control, non-SIT and SCIT-T0/T4 groups. Student’s t test was used to compare SCIT-T0 versus the SCIT-T4 group. The results were given by median with interquartile range. Statistical significant differences were considered when p < 0.05; *between the groups indicated in the figureBack to article page
