Naive mice were sensitized with PBS- or GC frass-pulsed BMDCs on day 0. Mice that received PBS-pulsed BMDCs were challenged with PBS (40 μl) and mice that received GC frass-pulsed BMDCs were challenged with GC frass (40 μg/40 μl) on day 14. All mice were sacrificed 72 h later, BAL fluid was harvested and differential cell counts performed. These data represent 8 mice per group and are expressed as mean ± SEM cell number X103. Statistical significance between GC frass and PBS exposure was determined by ANOVA.
