Fig 1 Blood for flow cytometry and cytokine analysis was collected at the following time points: P0, before placebo inhalation; P1, 1 hour after completion of placebo administration; P20 = A0, 20 hours after placebo administration (the baseline for aspirin challenge); A1, 1 hour after aspirin-induced reaction (in patients with positive reaction) or 1 hour after completion of aspirin administration (in patients with negative challenge); A20, 20 hours after reaction caused by aspirin (in patients with positive reaction) or 1 hour after completion of aspirin administration (in patients with negative challenge).
