2 Fig 1 Box and whisker plots summarizing total IgE concentrations in the serum (left) and bronchial mucosa (right) of nonatopic control subjects (NAC), atopic asthmatic patients (AA), and nonatopic asthmatic patients (NAA); Mann-Whitney U test.

3 Fig 2 Immunofluorescence image of a bronchial biopsy specimen from a nonatopic asthmatic patient stained for plasma cells (CD138; green), IgE (red), and nucleus (blue). Top, View of the whole biopsy specimen showing area of magnification. Bottom, Magnified view with a merged image and individual stains. Arrows indicate cells with dual staining (plasma cells expressing IgE).

4 Fig E1 Total IgE concentrations in the serum (left y-axes, open bars) and bronchial mucosa (right y-axes, shaded bars) of atopic asthmatic patients (top), nonatopic asthmatic patients (middle), and nonatopic control subjects (bottom).

5 Fig E2 Scatter plots with actual data points summarizing total IgE concentrations in the serum (left) and bronchial mucosa (right) of nonatopic control subjects (NAC), atopic asthmatic patients (AA), and nonatopic asthmatic patients (NAA). Median values for individual data sets are also shown (Mann-Whitney U test).

6 Fig E3 Concentrations of IgE specific for grass (Phl p 1, Phl p 2, Phl p 4, Phl p 5, Phl p 6, Phl p 11, and Cyn d 1) and tree (Bet v 1, Ole e 1, Cry j 1, Cup a 1, and Pla a 2) allergen components are expressed as percentages of total IgE in the sera (open bars) and bronchial mucosa (solid bars) of atopic asthmatic patients. Subjects sensitized to the corresponding allergens, as determined by using skin prick tests/ImmunoCAP, are indicated by arrowheads. (Figs E3 to E5 show only positive data obtained from the standard ISAC assay. In some of the atopic subjects sensitized to particular allergens by using conventional criteria [skin prick tests or PhadiaCAP], IgE against none of the corresponding allergen components in the standard ISAC chip was detectable in the serum or the bronchial mucosa. Subjects were sensitized to the following: grass—subjects 3, 4, and 8; tree—subjects 2 and 10; molds—subjects 3, 4, and 6; cat—subject 4; and dog—subject 10.)

7 Fig E4 Concentrations of IgE specific for HDM (Der p 1, Der p 2, Der f 1, Der f 2, and Eur m 2) and mold (Asp f 1, Asp f 3, Asp f 6, and Alt a 1) allergen components are expressed as percentages of total IgE in the sera (open bars) and bronchial mucosa (solid bars) of atopic asthmatic patients. Subjects sensitized to the corresponding allergens, as determined by using skin prick tests/ImmunoCAP, are indicated by arrowheads.

8 Fig E5 Concentrations of IgE specific for cat (Fel d 1, Fel d 2, and Fel d 4) and dog (Can f 1, Can f 2, and Can f 3) allergen components are expressed as percentages of total IgE in the sera (open bars) and bronchial mucosa (solid bars) of atopic asthmatic patients. Subjects sensitized to the corresponding allergens, as determined by using skin prick tests/ImmunoCAP, are indicated by arrowheads.
