Figure 3From: Effects of Corni fructus on ovalbumin-induced airway inflammation and airway hyper-responsiveness in a mouse model of allergic asthmaEffects of CF on total lung cells, total BALF cells, eosinophils in the BALF, and PBMCs. As described in the Materials and methods, the lung and BALF were harvested 24 h after the last OVA challenge. The total inflammatory cell numbers in the lung and BALF were counted, and cell classification was performed on a minimum of 200 cells to classify lymphocytes. The results are expressed as the mean ± SEM (n = 5). The statistical significance of differences between control and treatment groups was assessed by ANOVA or the nonparametric Mann-Whitney test followed by Dunnett's multiple comparison test (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001). N: Normal BALB/c mice, CT: Ovalbumin inhalation + vehicle, OVA + CF (50, 200 mg/kg).Back to article page
