From: Exploration of induced sputum BIRC3 levels and clinical implications in asthma
A BIRC3 mRNA expression in induced sputum cells (37 asthmatic patients vs 17 healthy controls) was detected by qRT-PCR; B The ROC curve of BIRC3 mRNA expression estimates the diagnostic capacity in induced sputum cells; C The protein level of BIRC3 was increased in induced sputum supernatant; D The ROC curve of BIRC3 protein level in induced sputum. For non-normally-distributed data, we calculated medians with interquartile ranges and used non-parametric tests (Mann–Whitney test)
