2.6 Statistical analysis
Correlations among αs1-, β-, and κ-CN-specific IgE were analyzed by Pearson’s correlation analysis. Differences among the inhibition rate of CN components were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Calculations were performed with EZR software produced by the Jichi Medical University Saitama Medical Center (Saitama, Japan).9 Data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation (SD). Differences with P values of less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
