Figure 5From: Modulation of lung inflammation by vessel dilator in a mouse model of allergic asthma VD reduces proinflammatory cytokines in lung homogenates. Lungs from each group were collected and homogenized. Supernatants of the homogenates were used to measure proinflammatory cytokines with the mouse Th1/Th2 cytokine CBA kit. Significant reduction of IL-4, IL-5, IL-13 and IFN-γ were observed in the pVD nanoparticle-treated group compared to the OVA and pVAX1 nanoparticle-treated group (p < 0.05). All experiments were repeated at least once and the results of a representative experiment are shown.Back to article page
