From: Attenuated allergic airway hyperresponsiveness in C57BL/6 mice is associated with enhanced surfactant protein (SP)-D production following allergic sensitization

Figure 3

Upon allergen challenge, sensitized C57BL/6 mice developed significantly augmented airway eosinophilia when compared with Balb/c mice. The absolute number of BAL cells (panel B) was derived from the differential counts in Giemsa-stained cytospin preparations and the total cell counts (panel A) in each BAL sample as described. Naïve mice (open bar: Balb/c (n = 15); light gray bar: C57BL/6 (n = 17)) received i.n. glycerol treatment alone. Sensitized mice (black bars: Balb/c (n = 22); dark gray bar: C57BL/6 (n = 22)) received i.p. sensitization and i.n. treatment with Af extract as described. Data are expressed as Mean ± SEM, *p < 0.05 Sensitized vs Naive; #p < 0.05 C57BL/6 vs Balb/c.
