(A) Serum immunoglobin E (IgE) levels of the control and cigarette smoke solution (CSS)-treated mice were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. (B) Representative images of Sirius red staining for eosinophils and periodic acid-Schiff and Alcian blue (PAS/AB) staining for goblet cells in the nasal RM of the control mice and mice treated with 10 doses of CSS (CSS 10). (C) Representative immunohistochemical images of neutrophils and Ki67+ dividing cells in the nasal RM (400× magnification), and comparative charts of Ki67+ cell counts (n = 6, Mann–Whitney U test). (D) Representative images of olfactory marker protein (OMP)+ mature olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) in two different areas of the olfactory epithelium: the nasal septum and upper lateral area. There were no significant differences in the number of OMP+ mature ORNs between the control and CSS-treated mice (n = 6, Mann–Whitney U test). OVA, ovalbumin.
