Cytokines and chemokines in mouse BALF were investigated using a Millipore mouse cytokine/chemokine magnetic bead panel. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM. n = 5–6 mice/group. *p < 0.05 and **P < 0.01: OVA or F1 vs. Con; #p < 0.05: OVA/ F (refers to F1(s), F1, F2 or F3) vs. OVA; N.D.: non-detected
