From: Respiratory allergy to Blomia tropicalis: Immune response in four syngeneic mouse strains and assessment of a low allergen-dose, short-term experimental model

Figure 1

Immune response of BALB/c, C57Bl/6, CBA/J and A/J mice sensitized withBlomia tropicalisextract (closed symbols) or injected with saline (open symbols). (A) Total leukocyte numbers in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). (B) Eosinophil numbers in the BALF. (C) Level of eosinophil peroxidase (EPO) activity in BALF. (D) Anti-B. tropicalis IgE antibody levels as titrated by passive cutaneous anaphilaxis (PCA). (E) IL-4 concentration in BALF. (F) IL-13 concentration in BALF. (G) Anti-B. tropicalis IgG1 antibody levels in blood. Each symbol corresponds to the result obtained from an individual animal. This data is representative of three independent experiments. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***P < 0.001; ANOVA and Tukey's test. P > 0.05 is not represented.
