Figure 2. Distribution of RSV and RV-specific IgG levels in
children (EGEA1, n=531) and adults (EGEA2, n=1241)
Shown are IgG levels expressed as fluorescence intensity values (FI:
y-axes) to RSV-G protein and VP1 N terminal peptides summed to represent
RV-A, RV-B and RV-C species (x-axes). Summary RV-A, RV-B and RV-C
variables were calculated by the sum of IgG responses to 18, 9 and 10
specific peptides respectively, as listed in Table S1. Data are shown as
box plots (EGEA1: orange box plots; EGEA2: blue box plots), where fifty
% of the values are within the boxes and non-outliers are outside the
bars. Lines within boxes indicate median values.
RSV: respiratory syncytial virus; RV: rhinovirus; EGEA: Epidemiological
study on the Genetics and Environment of Asthma.
