Intranasal administration of mCRAMP induced the exacerbation of OVA-induced airway hyperresponsiveness. (A) timeline protocol (Day 0 to Day 24) of OVA-induced allergic airway inflammation and intranasal mCRAMP administration. (B) increasing doses of inhaled methacholine-induced airway obstruction were presented as Penh (% increase over baseline), which was calculated by dividing the Penh value of different doses of methacholine by the Penh value of PBS baseline. (C) representative H&E and PAS staining of lung sections (x100 magnification). Black arrows denote bright purple-stained mucin-producing goblet cells. Scale bars = 100 µm. The concentrations of serum OVA-specific IgE (D) as well as IL-4 (E) and KC (F) in the lung homogenates were determined. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. Data are representative from 2 independent experiments showing essentially similar results. Mice (n = 5) were used within each group for different treatments.
