immune system
• eosinophil recruitment to the lungs is enhanced when challenged with antigen
|
• IgE levels are lower than controls in non-sensitized mice
• upon antigen sensitization, IgE levels are less than half of controls
• upon antigen challenge, IgE levels are similar to controls
|
• IL-2 secretion is decreased when mitogens are used to stimulate splenocytes
|
• antigen challenge to lungs of sensitized mice leads to 3-fold increase in IL-4 secretion compared to controls
• IL-4 secretion is decreased when mitogens are used to stimulate splenocytes
|
• antigen challenge to lungs of sensitized mice leads to increased IL-5 secretion
• enhanced secretion is not observed of IL-5 is not observed when mitogens are used to stimulate splenocytes

hematopoietic system
• eosinophil recruitment to the lungs is enhanced when challenged with antigen
|
• IgE levels are lower than controls in non-sensitized mice
• upon antigen sensitization, IgE levels are less than half of controls
• upon antigen challenge, IgE levels are similar to controls
