To better understand the possible contribution of these cells in the context of ICS use and atopic markers, we analysed the ratios Th1/Th2, Th2/Th17 and Th1/Th17. Further, the ratios Th1/Treg, Th17/Treg and, to a lesser extent, Th2/Treg showed that these activated T cells were over-represented in ALL compared to HD (Figure S2B to D).
