Plasma OVA-Specific IgE Levels in Cell Deficient Mice. Following Penh recordings, blood samples were attained via cardiac puncture and plasma samples assessed for OVA-Specific IgE via ELISA. Genetically modified strains in comparison to wildtype groups assessed were: a) CD4^−/−; b) CD8^−/−; c) B-cell^−/− and d) Mast cell^−/−. Data is expressed as raw absorbance values taken at 450 nm ± s.e.m. n = 6–11. Mann-Whitney U-test. *p < 0.05 wildtype Saline sensitised compared to wildtype Ovalbumin sensitised groups. #p < 0.05 Knockout Ovalbumin sensitised compared to wildtype Ovalbumin sensitised groups. No significant difference between groups is denoted ns
