TABLE 1.
Cell composition in the fluid lavage (FL) of sensitized mice challenged with PBS or albumin from chicken egg (OVA). Significant differences were observed using t-test for total number of cells (t = 11.5; p < 0.0003), macrophages (t = 4.07; p < 0.015) and lymphocytes (t = 18.9; p < 0.002). Significant numbers of eosinophils and neutrophils were also observed that were not detected in control conditions.
