The absence of alveolar macrophages during mucosal allergen sensitization and challenge augments house dust mite-induced Th2 inflammation in the airways (A) Schematic depicting either PBS or clodronate (Clod) liposome and house dust mite (HDM) administration. (B) Total airway leukocytes, (C) eosinophils, (D) neutrophils, and (E) Th2 lymphocytes retrieved following bronchoalveolar lavage and quantified by flow cytometry. BAL fluid was analyzed for inflammatory cytokines by ELISA (F) IL-4, (G) IL-5, and (H) IL-10. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.001 relative to PBS control group by Mann–Whitney U-test, n = 6–8.
