Quantification of gastrointestinal eosinophils by morphometric analysis in placebo- and oral allergen-challenged wild-type and eotaxin-deficient mice. Gastrointestinal eosinophil numbers were quantified in placebo- and oral allergen-challenged wild-type (WT) and eotaxin-deficient (eotaxin^−/−) mice by morphometric analysis. Data were obtained on day 19. Data represent the mean ± SEM of four to five random sections/mouse for four to five animals per group and are representative of three separate experiments. Statistical significance of experimental groups was analyzed by using the unpaired Student's t test.
