Figure 4

Bilsaan treatment decreases the infiltration of total and differential inflammatory cells in BALF. After 24 hours of the last dose Bilsaan treatment, BALF was collected to determine the numbers of (a) inflammatory cells. (b) BALF was spread and slides were stained with Leishman reagent. Images was taken from (B1) normal control, (B2) OVA-exposed, (B3) OVA-exposed mice treated with Bilsaan-10 mg/kg, and (B4) OVA-exposed mice treated with Bilsaan-25 mg/kg, Data are expressed as . A value < 0.05 was considered to be significant. , , and , normal control vs. OVA-exposed group. , , and , OVA-exposed vs. Bilsaan treatment groups.
