Blocking of IL-13 signaling decreases inflammation in Fra2 TG mice. Flow cytometric analysis of inflammatory cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (A,B) and of lung homogenates (C,D) of WT (n = 8) or Fra2 TG mice treated with anti-IL-13 neutralising (n = 6) or isotype (IgG, n = 5) antibodies: (A,C) Heatmap overview of the relative proportion of inflammatory cell populations, Z-scores are shown. (B,D) Changes in the absolute abundance of individual cell populations. AlvMp, alveolar macrophages; PMN, polymorphonuclear neutrophils; EOS, eosinophils; IntMp, interstitial macrophages; DC, dendritic cells. (E) Quantitative real-time PCR analysis of key inflammatory mediators in mouse lung homogenates. (F) IL-13 protein levels measured in lung homogenate (LH), bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and plasma of WT and Fra2 TG mice treated with isotype control (IgG) or anti-IL-13 antibodies. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001.
