Values are means ± standard error. Differential cell counts are reported as percent for lymphocytes (Lymph), macrophages (Mac), neutrophils (PMN), eosinophils (Eos) and monocytes (Mono). Groups are: sham treated exposed to filtered air (SH/Air); sham treated exposed to ozone (SH/O3); sensitized and challenged with nDer f 1exposed to filtered air (SC/Air); and sensitized and challenged with nDer f 1exposed to ozone (SC/O3). Significant difference p ≤ 0.05:
