Eosinophil (A,C) and lymphocyte (B,D) cell counts in the BAL of female (A,B) and male (C,D) mice that were whole-life replete (Vit D +/+), whole-life deficient (Vit D −/−), in utero deficient (Vit D −/+) or postnatally deficient (Vit D +/−) in vitamin D and exposed to 25 µg of house dust mite (HDM; black bars) intranasally in 50 µL of saline or saline alone (grey bars) for 10 consecutive days. Data are presented as mean (SD), n = 8–11 for each group in females and 7–11 in males. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.
