OVA-induced gastrointestinal food allergy influences pulmonary inflammation and cytokine production in Der f-induced asthma model. Eosinophils, neutrophils and lymphocytes count in (A) BAL and in (B) lungs in control (white bars), FA (light grey bars), RA (dark grey squares) and bi-allergic FA + RA (black bars) mice. (C) Measurement of IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, IL-17, KC and RANTES secretion in BAL cells by ELISA in the different groups as in A. Data are represented as mean ± SEM (n = at least 5 mice/group). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
