Treatment with allergen increased the number of pulmonary eosinophils in cotton rats. Number of cells present in BAL collected from either naïve animals or animals sensitized and challenged with house dust mite (HDM) antigen. Animals were sensitized intraperitoneally on day 0 with 100 µg HDM absorbed to alum and then challenged intranasally with 100 µg HDM 8 d later. BAL fluid was collected 4 d after challenge. Bars represent mean values (n = 4 to 8 cotton rats per group); error bars, 1 SD. Values differ significantly (§,adjusted P < 0.0001; Welch t tests, Holm–Sidak correction) from that for naïve cotton rats.
