Representative histological sections (hematoxylin and eosin stained) from healthy control animals in the PBS'98 group (picture A and B) and from animals having undergone a 98-day ovalbumin challenge protocol, the OVA'98 group (picture C and D)

Examination of sections from OVA'98 animals revealed a significant inflammation surrounding the airways and within the alveolar spaces. PBS'98 did not show any signs of inflammation.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Different effects of deep inspirations on central and peripheral airways in healthy and allergen-challenged mice"</p><p>http://respiratory-research.com/content/9/1/23</p><p>Respiratory Research 2008;9(1):23-23.</p><p>Published online 28 Feb 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2291047.</p><p></p
