Attenuation of allergic airway inflammation in IL‐4 deficient mice

Abstract

Summary: To investigate the role of IL‐4 in vivo in allergic asthma, we developed a murine model of allergen‐induced airway inflammation. Repealed daily exposures of actively immunised C57BL/6 mice to aerosolized ovalbumin (OVA) induced a peribronchial inflammation and an increase in eosinophils and lymphocytes in bronchoalveolar‐lavage(BAL) fluid. In IL‐4 deficient (IL4−/−) mice, treated in the same way, there were substantially fewer eosinophils in BAL and much less peribronchial inflammation compared with wild type mice. In this model, mast cell deficient (W/W v) mice developed a similar degree of BAL eosinophilia and peribronchial inflammation as wild type mice, demonstrating that the mast cell is not required for the induction of chronic airway inflammation. In contrast, BAL eosinophilia and airway inflammation were absent in OVA‐treated MHC ClassII deficient (B6.Aa−/−) mice which lack mature CD4+ T lymphocytes. In conclusion, these results indicate that IL‐4 is a central mediator of allergic airway inflammation, regulating antigen‐induced eosinophil recruitment into the airways by a T cell dependent mechanism.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
