Figure 8. A. baumannii infection inhibits airway eosinophilia in OVA-challenged TLR-4−/− and IFN-γ−/− mice.

Figure 8

Knock out (KO) and corresponding wild-type (WT) mice were sensitized i.p. with OVA/alum on days 0 and 14 and treated with live A. baumannii or PBS as described in Fig. 2. Mice were i.n. challenged with OVA on day 28. Cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid were collected 5 days after OVA challenge and different cell types were enumerated on cytospin preparations. Each bar represents the mean total number of respective types of cells per mouse lung ± SD (n = 5). *P<0.05 and ***P<0.001.
