Deep analysis of immune response and metabolic signature in children with food protein induced enterocolitis to cow’s milk

Table 2 Cytokine secretion induced by buffer alone (PBS) or purified Ara h 2 as controls, or induced by purified proteins or commercial hydrolysates from whey (pink rows), or from casein fraction (green rows). Results are expressed as mean obtained for the PBMC from IgE-CMA (n = 6) or FPIES-CMA (n = 9) patients stimulated with 50 µg/mL of purified proteins or 500 µg/mL of protein hydrolysates

* Indicated a difference between control (PBS and/or Ara h 2 stimulated) and stimulated PBMC in the same group of patients (p < 0.05 using the Wilcoxon sign rank test); “A” indicates a significant difference between IgE-CMA and FPIES-CMA patients (p < 0.05, Mann–Whitney test). “a” indicates a difference trend between IgE-CMA and FPIES-CMA patients (0.05 < p < 0.1, Mann–Whitney test)
