Fig 2. S. japonicum infection inhibits HDM-induced airway inflammation at late phase.

Fig 2

(A) In the late immunization regimen, HDM inoculations started at 5 wks post infection. The experiments were performed similarly as Fig 1. Total and differential cell counts of BAL cells (B-C), representative Kwik-Diff staining for BAL cytospins and H&E staining of lung tissue sections (D-E), cytokine levels in BAL fluids (F), and mRNA levels in the lungs (G) are shown. Results are representative of two independent experiments (n = 5–9 per group). Compared to uninfected and HDM immunized mice, *p<0.05; **p<0.01.
