From: Cell-bound IgE and plasma IgE as a combined clinical diagnostic indicator for allergic patients

Comparison of cell-bound IgE and plasma IgE levels. The X-Y graph in which each point represents a sample, the X axis indicates the plasma IgE level, and the Y axis indicates the cell-bound IgE level. Two cut-off lines was drew at 240 ng/ml for both plasma IgE and cell-bound IgE, resulting in four quadrants (Q1–Q4). The percentage of cells in each quadrant is shown in the figure. (A) Plasma IgE and cell-bound IgE in the allergic patient group; (B) plasma IgE and cell-bound IgE in the healthy group; and (C) the percentages of allergic patients and healthy people diagnosed with allergy using 240 ng/ml plasma IgE or 240 ng/ml cell-bound IgE as the cut-off value.
