γ-Tocopherol supplementation increased lung eosinophils in OVA-challenged pups from allergic mothers. Mice were treated as in Fig. 2. A: bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) leukocytes of PND13 OVA-challenged pups from allergic and saline (nonallergic) control mothers with basal diet or γ-tocopherol-supplemented diet. *P < 0.05 compared with OVA/basal group. **P < 0.05, compared with all groups; n = 8–10 pups/group. B: PND13 OVA-specific serum IgE as determined by ELISA; n = 8–10 mice/group. *P < 0.05, compared with the corresponding basal groups; n = 8–10 pups/group. C: mother OVA-specific serum IgE on gestational day 18 as determined by ELISA; n = 10–15 mothers/group. *P < 0.05, compared with the corresponding basal groups. D: representative micrographs of perivascular regions in pup lung tissue stained with eosin and methyl green. Images were obtained with a ×20 objective on an Olympus Microscope. Arrows on the images indicate some of the eosin-labeled perivascular eosinophils. V, vessel lumen.
