BALF concentration of cytokines. Cytokines were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. A: IL-13 was significantly increased in wt/blm, ht/blm, and ko/blm as compared to wt/sal, ht/sal, and ko/sal, respectively. There was no difference between the wt/blm, ht/blm, and ko/blm groups. B: MCP-1 was significantly elevated in wt/blm compared with wt/sal. The MCP-1 level was significantly different between ko/blm and wt/blm. C: TNF-α was significantly increased in wt/blm and ht/blm compared with wt/sal and ht/sal, respectively. TNF-α was significantly decreased in ko/blm as compared to wt/blm and ht/blm. *P < 0.05 compared to wt/sal, ht/sal, and ko/sal. ‡P < 0.05 compared to wt/blm. §P < 0.02 compared to ht/blm. Number of mice in each group: wt/sal, 29; wt/blm, 23; ht/sal, 4; ht/blm, 30; ko/sal, 9; ko/blm, 30.
