Fig. 2From: Influence of viral infection on the relationships between airway cytokines and lung function in asthmatic childrenEffect of viral infection on nasal lavage mRNAs by asthma severity. mRNA expression was measured by qPCR and normalized by GAPDH. Medians ±IQR are shown. TLR3 and IFN-λ1 mRNA results were analyzed as binary variables (proportions and 95% confidence intervals are shown. Pairwise comparisons of medians were performed using the Wilcoxon Rank-Sum Test (red squares, moderate-to-severe persistent asthma; blue squares, mild persistent asthma; green squares, mild intermittent asthma; *p < 0.05, †0.05 < p < 0.10)Back to article page
