980 nm PBM alleviates OVA-induced allergic responses. (A) Schematic diagram of the OVA-allergy model and the PBM treatment regimen. (B) Representative H&E-stained lung sections from control and PBM-treated mice. (C) H&E-stained lung sections from control, OVA-allergic, and PBM-treated OVA-allergic mice following five consecutive days of aerosolized OVA sensitization. (D) Quantitative analysis of lung inflammation scores. Group sizes: control (n = 2), OVA (n = 4), and OVA-PBM (n = 4). (E) Periodic Acid-Schiff stain lung sections from control, OVA-allergic, and PBM-treated OVA-allergic mice following five consecutive days of aerosolized OVA sensitization. (F) Quantitative analysis of pathology scores from PAS staining. Group sizes: control (n = 2), OVA (n = 4), and OVA-PBM (n = 4). Statistical significance was determined using an unpaired, two-tailed Student’s t-test (*P < 0.05).
