Table 1. Bronchoalveolar Lavage Differential Cell Counts.

Cells×10−3 Total Eosinophils Neutrophils Lymphocytes Monocytes
Saline 95.0±50.8 0.5±0.2 0.8±0.1 10.0±2.0 83.7±18.8
OVA 385.0±29.4*** 4.1±1.5*** 6.1±2.7*** 74.6±22.2*** 300.2±37.6***

Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid was collected from saline- and ovalbumin (OVA)-challenged mice (n = 6/group) and assessed for total cellularity. Differential cell counts were made on cytospin preparations from each BAL fluid sample based on counts of 300 cells. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM. Statistical analysis of log-transformed data was conducted using unpaired t-tests.
