Effect of adoptively transferring LPS-pulsed mature BMDCs on lung pathology in OVA-induced asthmatic mice. (A-1) Protocol for OVA-mediated induction of allergic asthma and transperitoneal adoptive transfer of LPS-pulsed matured BMDCs (wild type) into OVA-sensitized mice. (A-2) Representative photomicrographs of lung sections stained with H&E and examined at × 100 magnification. The same experiment was repeated 3 times with similar results (n = 6 in each group). (A-3) The scores for lung tissue pathology. (B) The total cell number in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) (top panel). The differential cell counts in the BALF (bottom panel). The columns and error bars represent the mean and SEM (**P < 0.01;*P < 0.05; ns: no significant difference).
