Markers of food allergy after 7 days of ovalbumin consumption by nonsensitized (OVA−) and sensitized (OVA+) mice. Serum anti-OVA IgE (a), DAI score (b), EPO activity in jejunum (c), and percentage of PAS (Periodic Acid-Schiff) by field also in jejunum histology (d). Representative photomicrographs of PAS stained (100x) intestine showing mucus production by goblet cells in evidence. Bars indicate 50 μm. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. .
