Figure 3From: Stimulation of allergen-loaded macrophages by TLR9-ligand potentiates IL-10-mediated suppression of allergic airway inflammation in miceISS-ODN-stimulated and OVA-loaded Mφ (ISS-ODN/OVA-Mφ) significantly suppress airway eosinophilia and IL-5 levels in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. The number of eosinophils (eo), neutrophils (neutro) and mononuclear cells (MNC) in the BALF (A), and IL-5 levels in the BALF (B) after OVA inhalation challenge. Values are expressed as the mean ± SEM (n = 6 to 8). *P < .01 and †P < .05 compared with sham-treated mice. ‡ P < .01 and § P < .05 compared with mice treated with OVA-Mφ.Back to article page
