The median (IQR)% intracellular IL-13 expression by CD3+ cells was increased in asthma [5.3 (2.7–9.8)%; n = 12] compared to non-asthmatic eosinophilic bronchitis [1.1 (0.5–3)%; n = 7] and healthy controls [1.7 (0.2–3%); n = 9] (p = 0.02), but was not significantly different in eosinophils across the groups. The gene discussed is IL13; the disease is asthma.
