1 Impact of immunotherapy on blood dendritic cells in patients with Hymenoptera venom allergy 
Katharina Dreschler, Kai Bratke, PhD, Sebastian Petermann, MD, Andrea Bier, MD, Petra Thamm, Michael Kuepper, PhD, J. Christian Virchow, MD, Marek Lommatzsch, MD  Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology  Volume 127, Issue 2, Pages e3 (February 2011) DOI: /j.jaci Copyright © 2011 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Study design. Measurement of laboratory parameters and analysis of blood DC numbers and characteristics were performed directly before initiation of SIT and 52 hours and 12 months after initiation of SIT.

3 Fig 2 Gating strategy. Total cells in peripheral blood were identified in a forward scatter/side scatter (FSC/SSC) plot (first row). Linneg/dim cells were further gated (second row). Among linneg/dim cells, pDCs were identified by CD123 and HLA-DR expression (third row), mDCs by CD11c and HLA-DR expression (fourth row). Lin, Lineage; PE, phycoerythrin; PerCP, peridinin chlorophyll protein.

4 Fig 3 Peripheral blood pDCs. Shown are the numbers of pDCs in peripheral blood (103/mL) in controls (open circles) and in patients with Hymenoptera venom allergy (closed circles) directly before initiation of SIT and 52 hours and 12 months after initiation of SIT. Each circle represents 1 participant. Median values are shown as red bars.

5 Fig 4 Peripheral blood mDCs. Shown are the numbers of mDCs in peripheral blood (103/mL) in controls (open circles) and in patients with Hymenoptera venom allergy (closed circles) directly before initiation of SIT and 52 hours and 12 months after initiation of SIT. Each circle represents 1 participant. Median values are shown as red bars.

6 Fig 5 Function-associated surface molecules on DCs. Shown are the percentages of peripheral blood pDCs expressing CD40 and peripheral blood mDCs expressing CD40, CD32, and TLR2 in controls (open boxes) and in patients with Hymenoptera venom allergy (gray boxes) directly before initiation of SIT and 52 hours and 12 months after initiation of SIT. Box plots display the median (line within the box), interquartile range (edges of the box), and extremes (vertical lines). Outliers (all cases more distant than 1.5 interquartile ranges from the upper or lower quartile) were omitted in the graphs.
