Cellular effects of NGF inhibition in airways. The cellular fraction of the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) from capsaicin-stimulated noninfected weanling rats was largely of the monocyte/macrophage type, with few lymphocytes and minimal PMNs. After PAO1 infection, PMNs tripled, without significant changes in the other subpopulations. However, the proportion of PMNs recovered from PAO1-infected airways by BAL increased 15-fold above control after NGF inhibition. Means ± SE (n = 5–6 rats per group). ***P < 0.001 compared with noninfected controls.
