Figure 6

Reduced Th2 cytokine secretion by the splenocytes from Bilsaan-treated mice. The splenocytes from the mice of various experimental groups were sensitized with OVA and cultured for 48 hours. The supernatant was collected to determine (a) IL-4, (b) IL-5, and (c) IL-13. 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.
