Quiescent and Active Tear Protein Profiles to Predict Vernal Keratoconjunctivitis Reactivation

Figure 4

Comparison between quiescent and active subgroups. The scatter plot in (a) shows the candidate fold changes between quiescent and active tears, as calculated from mean of FI values provided by the software (see M&M). Those candidates, having ≥2 FC and initial cut-offs, are localized in the lower left quadrant. Correlation between quiescent and active biomarkers in VKC tears is shown in MFI values (b). The Pearson correlation analysis is reported in the panel. Note the close association of quiescent and active VKC candidates in the lower left region of the slope.
