Correlation between clinical and immunological values determined at baseline and two years later. (a) patient rated nose symptoms (𝑛=52), (b) response of early skin test (𝑛=42), (c) specific IgE (𝑛=53), and (d) regulatory CD4⁺CD25^hi T cells (𝑛=41). Open bullets: verum SLIT-treatment during two years, closed bullets: placebo treatment during two years (see Section 2), dashed lines: median values, and 𝑅_𝑠: Spearman Rank test.
