The LINA Study: Higher Sensitivity of Infant Compared to Maternal Eosinophil/Basophil Progenitors to Indoor Chemical Exposures

Table 2

Numbers of maternal and infant IL-3-, IL-5-, or GM-CSF-stimulated eosinophil/basophil (Eo/B) colony forming units (CFUs), presented as median and interquartile range (IQR). Correlation between maternal and infant Eo/B CFUs was calculated using Spearman’s rank correlation test; values < 0.05 are considered to be significant and printed in bold.

Eo/B CFUs	Mother	Child
	Median (IQR)
IL-3	8.5 (3.5–17.5)	9.0 (4.0–15.0)	<0.001	0.447
IL-5	0.5 (0.3–1.5)	0.5 (0–1.5)	0.565	0.101
GM-CSF	5.5 (1.0–7.0)	2.5 (1.0–8.3)	0.028	0.686
