Figure 2

T cell activation and co-receptor expression after specific stimulation. ICOS, CTLA-4 expression, IL-4, IL-13, IL-10 producing T cells and Treg cells (CD4+CD25+HiFoxp3+) were assessed by flow cytometry in PBMC from HDM allergic asthmatics and rhinitics (AR) (A, n = 18), HDM allergic rhinitics (R) (B, n = 18), non allergic asthmatics (A) (C, n = 13), and controls (D, n = 20) stimulated or not with Derp1 allergen (1 μg/ml) during 8 days. Results are expressed as percentage of total T cells. _ : mean of each group. * = p < 0.05; ** = p < 0.01
