Serum and Salivary IgE, IgA, and Antibodies to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and Its Major Allergens, Der p1 and Der p2, in Allergic and Nonallergic Children
Figure 4
Correlation between levels of IgA antibodies to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Dpt) crude extract and its major allergens (Der p1 and Der p2) in serum (a–c) and saliva (d–f) samples from 72 allergic (•) and 14 nonallergic () children. Data are expressed in arbitrary units per milliliter (AU/mL) and the dashed line indicates a perfect correlation. The Spearman correlation coefficients () and statistical significance are also indicated for allergic (on the upper left corner) and nonallergic (on the lower right corner) children.
