Figure

  • Fig. 1. Sneezing and rubbing counts. (A) Sneezing and rubbing counts were significantly higher in the positive control group than in the negative control group. (B) Sneezing and rubbing counts at 5-minute intervals. The average count from the first 5-minute interval was higher than that of the consecutive 5-minute intervals. (C) Eosinophil count was significantly higher in the positive control group. ***P<0.001.

  • Fig. 2. Correlation analysis between sneezing and rubbing counts and type 2 allergic parameters. (A) Type 2 immune response mediators were closely correlated with sneezing and rubbing counts for 0–20 minutes (P<0.001). (B) Summary of correlation coefficients according to the time interval. The correlation coefficient of nasal IL-4 mRNA levels was the highest among the type 2 markers. IgE, immunoglobulin E; OVA, ovalbumin; OD, optical density; IL, interleukin.
