  1. Values are median with IQR, P value by Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn’s test as post hoc pairwise comparison;
  2. Significant P value in italic with the fold change between brackets
  3. 1AD vs. control, 2iAD vs. AD
  4. Control neurologically/cognitively normal controls, AD Alzheimer’s disease cases, iAD immunised Alzheimer’s disease cases
  5. * These values are significantly different from both AD and the control group (IL13: P<0.001 (3.03); IL7: P=0.003 (0.08); VEGF: P=0.012 (-3.39)
