Reduced airway inflammation and mucus secretion in CD38−/− mice after OVA sensitization and challenge. (A) Leukocyte numbers in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) of challenged (C) or sensitized and challenged (S/C) mice. *P < 0.05 for BL6 S/C compared with CD38−/− S/C. (B) Composition of cells extracted from the lungs, as described in Materials and Methods, after performing BAL and lung perfusion. (C) Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained lung sections from challenged or sensitized and challenged WT-BL6 and CD38−/− mice. Magnification of insets: ×100 of periodic acid Schiff (PAS)-stained sections. Bars = 50 μm. (D) Number of PAS-positive cells/mm of basal membrane (BM) identified from lung sections obtained from challenged (C) or sensitized and challenged (S/C) BL6 and CD38−/− mice. *P < 0.05 for BL6 S/C compared with CD38−/− S/C.
