Figure 3From: Exposure of neonates to Respiratory Syncytial Virus is critical in determining subsequent airway response in adultsBAL cellularity in RSV and/or Ova exposed mice. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was isolated on protocol day 69. RSV and/or Ova induced significant increase in total BAL cellularity. In mice exposed to RSV as neonates (RSS), this increase correlated with elevated levels of macrophages; whereas, in mice exposed to Ova (ROO and Ova), this increase correlated to elevation in eosinophil numbers. Data are expressed as means ± SEM, n = 3/group. ***p < 0.001Back to article page
