Fig. 1 Cellular composition of BAL fluid (A ) and cytokine (B ) and EPO and histamine (C ) levels in BAL fluid supernatants of tg mice. A, Eosinophils dominate the cellular infiltrate into BAL of DQ+/hCD4+ and DQ6+ mice. *P < .03. ‡P < .05. B, SRW treatment resulted in the increase of IL-5 and IL-13 contents in DQ+/hCD4+ mice. C, EPO concentration was increased in DQ6+/hCD4+ and DQ8+/hCD4+ mice (*P < .05). *P < .05 in BAL histamine levels between either DQ8+ or DQ6+/hCD4+ mice and Aβ0/mCD40, hCD4+, DQ6+ tg mice.

Fig. 2 Histopathology of lung tissue. A, Lungs of DQ8+/hCD4+ mice showed a diffuse eosinophilic infiltration. B, There was no inflammation in lung tissue of Aβ0/mCD40 or hCD4+ mice. C, A perivascular eosinophil/MNC inflammation was observed in DQ6+ mice. D, Section of lung of DQ8+ mouse shows the absence of inflammatory cells.

Fig. 3 A, Histochemical staining with naphthol AS-D chloroacetate or toluidine blue reveals mast cells in the airway submucosa in either CD4-deficient or hCD4-sufficient DQ6+ and DQ8+ mice. B, Mast cells were also observed in sufficient numbers in other tg mice, the highest count being in DQ8+ mice. Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology , DOI: ( /mai ) Copyright © 2001 Mosby, Inc.

Fig. 4 Respiratory system physiology of PBS-treated and SRW-sensitized and challenged tg mice (A ) and DQ+ mice (B ) treated with mAb during SRW treatment. A, Mean methacholine dose-response curves of 4 mice per control group and from 6 to 12 mice per experimental group (± SEM) are shown. B, Treatment of mice with anti-CD1, anti-NK1.1, or anti-CD8 mAb did not significantly attenuate hyperresponsiveness in comparison with control mAb–treated groups.

Fig. 6 Inhibition of SRW-specific proliferative response of spleen MNCs with mAb. The data represent the percentage of inhibition of [3H]thymidine incorporation in cultures with SRW. Δ counts-per-minute values for cultures with SRW alone are indicated. Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology , DOI: ( /mai ) Copyright © 2001 Mosby, Inc. Terms and Conditions
