Total and differential cell counts and protein levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. (A) Number of total cells, (B) eosinophils, (C) neutrophils, and (D) monocytes in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Control, mice sensitized and challenged with saline; OVA, mice sensitized and challenged with ovalbumin; SAL, mice sensitized and challenged with ovalbumin and treated with saline; BMMC-Control, mice sensitized and challenged with ovalbumin and treated with bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCs) obtained from control donors, 24 hours after last challenge (2 × 106 cells/mouse); BMMC-OVA, mice sensitized and challenged with ovalbumin and treated with BMMCs obtained from OVA donors, 24 hours after last challenge (2 × 106 cells/mouse). *Significantly different from control (P < 0.05). **Significantly different from OVA-SAL mice (P < 0.05). #Significantly different from BMMC-Control mice (P < 0.05). One-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey’s test.
