Ethanol Extract of <i>Perilla frutescens</i> Suppresses Allergen-Specific Th2 Responses and Alleviates Airway Inflammation and Hyperreactivity in Ovalbumin-Sensitized Murine Model of Asthma

<div>Schematic diagram of the experimental protocol<i>.</i> Eight-week-old female BALB/c mice were sensitized intraperitoneally (i.p.) by OVA for three times (10, 30, and 30 <i>μ</i>g/mouse) on days 0, 14, and 28. OVA-sensitized mice were challenged with 5% aerosolized OVA three times on days 49, 56, and 62. After 3 weeks of supplementation, mice were sacrificed and the BALF, serum, and splenocytes of mice were collected for further analysis.</div>
