Figure 6

Effect of MFXD on the mRNA expression of IFN-γ, IL-4, T-bet, GATA-3, STAT-1, and STAT-6 in the nasal mucosa. Nasal mucosa samples from rats in different groups were obtained after the last nasal challenge, and total RNA was isolated and analyzed with qRT-PCR. (a) The mRNA expression of IFN-γ, T-bet, and STAT-1 in the nasal mucosa. (b) The mRNA expression of IL-4, GATA-3, and STAT-6 in the nasal mucosa. (c) The ratios of IFN-γ/IL-4, T-bet/GATA-3, and STAT-1/STAT-6 are shown. Data are expressed as mean ± SD; rats; , versus model.
