α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in fibroblasts from control or OVA-challenged mice in baseline condition. Tracheobronchial and control fibroblasts from control mice were cultured in monolayer, grown to 75% confluence, and immunoblotting for α-SMA was performed. (A) Immunoblots of tracheobronchial (left) and lung (right) fibroblasts. The Western blot is shown for four control mice (C1–C4) and for OVA-challenged mice (A1–A4, A5). (B) Relative intensity versus α-actin. All values are mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05 compared with the values of control.
