Fig 1 Overall study design. ∗Midstudy NAC and SPTT occurred when cat allergen BHR was <20% of baseline or ∼ day 45. Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology 2010 125, 889-895.e7DOI: (10.1016/j.jaci.2009.09.012) Copyright © 2010 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Terms and Conditions
Fig 2 Cat allergen–induced BHR in omalizumab (n = 12; A) and placebo recipients (n = 4; B) relative to the day of study. All comparisons are within each group relative to relative to the response measured at baseline (day 0) by 2-tailed paired t test. Error bars, SEM. ∗P < .05; ∗∗P < .01; #P < .001; ‡P < .0001.

Average sneeze counts in omalizumab treated (n = 12; B) and placebo-treated subjects (n = 4; C) grouped according to the dose of allergen and NAC visit.
