From: Response of airway epithelial cells to double-stranded RNA in an allergic environment
Before-and-after plots showing effects of prior exposure to Th2 cytokines on the expression of mRNA for type I and type III interferon genes by human AEC at baseline (left) or following stimulation with poly I:C (right). Data are mean values for individual patients, showing expression relative to the housekeeping gene HPRT. p values for significant differences between cells cultured in media with or without IL-4 and IL-13 were assessed by ratio paired t-test.
