Figure 1From: Defining human mesenchymal stem cell efficacy in vivoEstablishing the Acute Model of Murine Asthma. Mice were sensitized with ovalbumin, rested for 14 days and then challenged daily with ovalbumin or sham PBS for 5 days. Mice were sacrificed and the lungs were processed for inflammation with BAL (1A) or histology without BAL (1B saline-challenged (40×) versus 1C ovalbumin-challenged (40×)). Histology is representative of 5 different experiments with 6-8 mice in each group. Inflammation is representative of 5 different experiments with n = 4-6 for each group. Ovalbumin challenged mice had a significant increase in inflammatory cells (n = 4, p = 0.04).Back to article page
