Fig 1 Comparison of the expression level of CD203c on basophils from 21 patients with AERD, 22 patients with ATA, and 11 HCs under stable condition. Spontaneous (A), anti-IgE–stimulated (B), and IL-3–stimulated (C) expression levels are presented. The data are expressed as the net MFI. The error bars indicate the SD. HC, Healthy control. *P < .05 and ***P < .001.

Fig 2 The aspirin challenge test results. A and E, The basophil count in blood. B-D and F-H, The expression levels of CD203c on peripheral basophils in 12 patients with AERD and 7 patients with ATA. The data are expressed as the net MFI (median [interquartile]). The P values indicate comparisons relative to baseline. *P < .05 and **P < .01.
