Baseline IL-10 concentration is inversely associated with responsiveness to organic dust extract. Left: x-axis is baseline level of IL-10 in the whole blood assay and y-axis is the difference between baseline and organic dust-stimulated TNF-α (Δ Ln TNF-α; n = 501). Right: x-axis is baseline level of IL-10 in the whole blood assay and y-axis is the difference between baseline and organic dust-stimulated IL-6 in the whole blood assay (n = 501). Multivariable linear regression models were adjusted for age, sex, BMI, race, education, smoking status (never, former, current), and white blood cell count. r = Pearson’s correlation coefficient
