Distribution of cytokine/chemokine levels according to the presence of <i>MBL2*O</i> (<i>B</i>, <i>C</i> or <i>D</i>) alleles.

<p>A. IL9 distribution (P value refers to Mann-Whitney test; horizontal line indicates the median level). B. PDGF distribution (P value refers to an unpaired t-test; horizontal line indicates the mean level). C. RANTES distribution (P value refers to Mann-Whitney test; horizontal line indicates the median level). There were no <i>MBL2*O/O</i> homozygotes among those measured for the investigated cytokines/chemokines. Three outliers with inconsistent results were excluded from all comparisons. Due to small sample size, Bonferroni P values were not significant.
