Number of immune cells and level of OVA-specific IgE in BALF. a Experimental scheme for OVA-induced asthma model and BAW treatment. b After the collection of BALF from the lungs, total cells were separated by centrifugation, and stained with May-Giemsa solution. Total cells, eosinophils and macrophages were measured within a 1 mm2 area under a light microscope at 400× magnification. b The concentration of OVA-specific IgE was quantified in BALF by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The minimum detectable concentration of this kit is 20.7 pg/mL. The data shown represent the means ± SD of duplicates. *, P < 0.05 compared to the Control group. #, P < 0.05 compared to the OVA+Vehicle treated group. Abbreviation: Es, Eosinophil; Mc, Macrophage
