Fig 1 Study design and symptom levels in HDM-sensitive (M+) and nonsensitive (M−) participants in the natural setting versus the ACC. A, The 4 study phases. ‡Number of TSS measurements in each phase. B, Means ± SEMs of TSSs recorded in the study phases. Means (with 95% CIs) of the minimum and maximum TSSs observed in M+ participants are shown as dashed lines with gray bands. The rTSS was recorded twice daily in the natural setting (run-in and observation phases), and the iTSS was recorded at baseline and then at 30-minute intervals after HDM exposure in the ACC. C, Correlation between the maximum iTSS recorded in ACC-I and ACC-II in 21 M+ participants. The trend line, correlation r (rho) value, P value, and slope and intercept are shown. D, Proportion of M+ participants achieving the indicated increase in iTSSs from baseline levels (ΔiTSS) during each exposure. E, Proportion of M+ participants with the indicated baseline (before exposures 1 and 5) and maximum iTSSs recorded during ACC-I and ACC-II.

Fig 2 Symptom responses in M+ participants stratified by ssIgE levels for D pteronyssinus and SPT responses to pollen. A, Mean ± SEM rTSSs or iTSSs in M+ participants according to detectable versus undetectable ssIgE levels (M+IgE− vs M+IgE+ participants). ‡Number of TSS measurements in each phase. B and C, Box-and-whisker plots for the maximum rTSS or iTSS in M+IgE− and M+IgE+ participants (Fig 2, B) and M+P− and M+P+ participants (Fig 2, C). P values test whether the means are different. D, Mean CD69+HLA-DR+CD8+ T cells for M+P− and M+P+ participants. Data for CD4+ T cells are shown in Fig E5. A linear generalized estimating equations model was used to test whether the mean across all 4 time points in ACC-I or ACC-II differed between M+P− and M+P+ participants. E-G, Box-and-whisker plots for ΔiTSS by ssIgE status and SPT reactivity to pollen (Fig 2, E) and differences in TSSs from scores recorded before exposures 1 and 5 from the TSSs the evening before the run-in and observation (Obs.) phases, respectively, in all (M+), M+P−, and M+P+ participants and daily ΔiTSSs in M+ participants during each exposure (Fig 2, G). ΔiTSS indicates the maximum iTSS minus the baseline iTSS at the corresponding exposure. NS, Not significant. #.05 < P value ≤ .15. *.01 < P value ≤ .05. **P ≤ .01.
