BALF cell count. (A) Total BALF cell count (×106) determined by a haemocytometer. (B) NEU and (C) EOS counts were determined in 200 total BALF cells after tissue slicing and hematoxylin and eosin staining. Values are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation. ***P<0.001 compared with control group; ###P<0.001 compared with groups 1–3. Groups: 1, 50 µg HDM + 50 µg OVA + 15 µg LPS; 2, 50 µg HDM + 100 µg OVA + 15 µg LPS; 3, 100 µg HDM + 50 µg OVA + 15 µg LPS; 4, 100 µg HDM + 100 µg OVA + 15 µg LPS; control, saline only. HDM, house dust mite allergen; OVA, ovalbumin; LPS, lipopolysaccharide; BALF, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid; NEU, neutrophils; EOS, eosinophils.
