Cellular infiltration into the lung of DRA challenged mice. Total cells (a), eosinophils (b), lymphocytes (c) and neutrophils (d) infiltration into BALFs from DRA challenged mice treated with either saline or budesonide at different time points. Values are expressed as number of cells per μL as measured by Dasit Sysmec XT 1800. The dashed line represents the average value of control animals treated with saline. Eight mice were used for every time points and the experiment was replicated three times. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM of the three different experiments. Statistical differences were tested by one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s t post hoc test for group comparisons. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 vs time-matched DRA group
