Intragastric and Intranasal Administration of Lactobacillus paracasei NCC2461 Modulates Allergic Airway Inflammation in Mice

Figure 1

Protocols of probiotic strains administration and subsequent effect of intragastric L. paracasei NCC2461 on total cell number in BALF of OVA-challenged mice. Mice were sensitized intraperitoneally (i.p.) twice with OVA and subsequently challenged with OVA aerosol 3 times. Mice received NCC2461 intragastrically (i.g.) 12 times before, after, and in between the 2 i.p. sensitizations (a) or 4 times before, after and in between each OVA challenge (b). Total cell count in the BALF ( ) mice per group. In this representative experiment, data are expressed as mean ± SD; (c).
