The percentage of activated basophils in 29 patients with JC pollinosis. The percentage of CD203c-positive activated basophils after the stimulation with Tg-rice seed extract was 4.5 ± 1.6% compared to 62.9 ± 20.2% after the stimulation with the mixture of Cry j 1 and Cry j 2, and this difference was significant (difference 58.4%, P < 0.001, 95% confidence interval 51.0–65.9%). There was no significant difference between Tg-rice seed extract (4.5 ± 1.6%) and WT-rice seed extract (4.6 ± 1.2%) (difference − 0.2%, P = 0.63, 95% confidence interval − 0.8% to 0.5%)
