FIG. 5.
Effect of dexamethasone on cells stimulated with antigen. Cells were activated with DNA-BSA to cross-link receptor-bound IgE. IL-4 mRNA (a), IL-5 mRNA (b), and secretion (c) were determined as described in the legend to Fig. 3. Data are expressed as a percentage of the values for the samples from cells given no dexamethasone (dex). Each value represents the mean and SEM for three (a and b) or five (c) separate experiments.
