Figure 1

DSE inhibits the recruitment of inflammatory cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of mice 48 h after the final OVA challenge. Cells were isolated by centrifugation and stained with Diff-Quik® stain reagent. Cell numbers were counted using a light microscope by counting cells in at least five squares of a hemocytometer after excluding dead cells using Trypan blue. NC, normal control mice treated with PBS only; OVA, OVA-sensitized/induced mice; Mon, montelukast (30 mg/kg) + OVA-sensitized/induced mice; DSE-100, DSE (100 mg/kg) + OVA-sensitized/induced mice; DSE-200, DSE (200 mg/kg) + OVA-sensitized/induced mice. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 6/group). ##Significantly different from NC, P < 0.01; **significantly different from OVA, P < 0.01
