Pulmonary inflammation in naive Sftpd−/− mice. A, Total cell counts. B, Neutrophil BALF percentages. Percentage of positive CD4 (C) and CD4/CD69 (D) lung cells (n = 6-9; ∗∗P < .01, ∗∗∗P < .001). E, Representative density plots of CD69+ cells. F, Representative pictures of PAS-stained large upper airways of wild-type and Sftpd−/− mice (×40 magnification). WT, Wild-type; KO, knockout; PE, phycoerythrin; FITC, fluorescein isothiocyanate.

Baseline chemokine and cytokine levels in lung homogenates of wild-type and Sftpd−/− mice. Lung levels of CCL2/JE/monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (A), CCL17/TARC (B), IL-4 (C), IL-13 (D), IFN-γ (E), and IL-12p70 (F) in 4- to 5-week-old (open circles, n = 4) and 6- to 7-week-old (solid circles, n = 4) Sftpd−/− mice and wild-type control animals. WT, Wild-type; KO, knockout.

Impaired systemic TH2 profile in naive Sftpd−/− mice. Total plasma IgE (A) and IgG1 (B) levels were measured in 4- to 5-week-old mice. Spleen cells were stimulated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28, and IL-4 (C), IL-13 (D), and IFN-γ (E) levels were measured in culture supernatants (n = 12-26). ∗P < .05, ∗∗P < .01, and ∗∗∗P < WT, Wild-type; KO, knockout.

Decreased allergic airway responses in Sftpd−/− mice after repeated A fumigatus exposures. A, Protocol. Total BALF cells (B), eosinophils (C), and IL-13 (E) BALF levels in Sftpd−/− mice and their control animals. D, Number of eosinophils per square millimeter around small airways. F, Mucus production was expressed as a percentage of PAS-positive small airway epithelial cells. G, Airway resistance to a methacholine dose of 100 mg/mL (n = 7-18). ∗P < .05; ∗∗P < .01; ∗∗∗P < ns, Not significant.
