LPS attenuates fungal-induced asthma to promote neutrophilia (A) Mice were challenged intranasally with 4 × 105 Aspergillus niger (AN) conidia and/or 1 μg LPS for 3 weeks as diagramed. The effects on airway hyperreactivity (B) and inflammatory cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) (C, D) were determined. Results are presented as the mean ± SEM (n ≥ 3 in each group). *p < 0.05 compared with PBS administration; #p < 0.05 between the indicated groups. Data are from one of two representative and independent experiments
