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

Figure 2

Effect of intragastric versus intranasal L. paracasei NCC2461 administration on lung airway inflammation. L. paracasei NCC2461 (1 × 109 CFU) or PBS were either administered intragastrically (i.g.) or intranasally (i.n.) in OVA-challenged mice. Total cell counts (a) and differential cell counts (b) in the BALF. Eotaxin (c) and IL-5 levels (d) in lung homogenate were quantified by ELISA. Histograms are mean ± SD obtained from one representative experiment, mice per group; , , .
