The effect of bromelain treatment on BAL CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes. CD4+ T lymphocytes were significantly elevated in AAD mice as compared to naïve mice and declined significantly in both the 2 and the 6 mg/kg AAD-bromelain treatment groups as compared to the AAD group (A). There was a significant reduction in the CD8+ T lymphocytes only at the 2 mg/kg bromelain dose (B). Bromelain treatment significantly reduced BAL CD4+CD25+ T cells at both doses when compared to AAD (C). Data represent means ± SEM n = 6-8 animals per group); *p ≤ 0.05 by ANOVA when comparing naïve and AAD-bromelain treated groups to the AAD group.
