Table 2
Spearman’s Rho/correlation coefficient between the serous levels of IFN-
2, tryptase, and other cytokines.
| (a) In the patients with allergic rhinitis |
| | | IFN-λ2 | Tryptase | IL-4 | IL-10 | IL-12 |
| | IFN-λ2 | 1 | 0.613187 | −0.168899 | −0.606208 |
— | | Tryptase | 0.613187 | 1 | −0.435526 | −0.304311 | 0.153744 | | IL-4 | −0.168899 | −0.435526 | 1 | 0.360302 | 0.370014 | | IL-10 | −0.606208 | −0.304311 | 0.360302 | 1 | 0.388322 | | IL-12 | — | 0.153744 | 0.370014 | 0.388322 | 1 |
|
|
Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level.

|
|
Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level.
|
| (c) In the patients with combined allergic rhinitis with asthma |
| | | IFN-λ2 | Tryptase | IL-4 | IL-10 | IL-12 |
| | IFN-λ2 | 1 | 0.214286 | −0.066667 | 0.118818 | — | | Tryptase | 0.214286 | 1 | 0.47619 | −0.109109 | — | | IL-4 | −0.066667 | 0.47619 | 1 | 0.322193 | −0.305699 | | IL-10 | 0.118818 | −0.109109 | 0.322193 | 1 | — | | IL-12 | — | — | −0.305699 | — | 1 |
