Figure 7From: Ingestion of milk containing the Dp2 peptide, a dust mite allergen, protects mice from allergic airway inflammation and hyper-responsivenessImmunomodulatory effects of transgenic Dp2 milk on the expression of cytokines and allergen-specific immunoglobulins. The supernatant of the BAL fluid from mice in the three experimental groups was analyzed by ELISA to determine the IL-4 (A) and IFN-γ (B) levels. Serum samples from mice in the three experimental groups were analyzed to determine the Dp2-specific IgE (C) by ELISA. The data are expressed as the means ± SD of values obtained for individual mice. n = 5 mice per group. (* P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01)Back to article page
