<p>OVA-immunized (i.p., day0 and 14) and sensitized (5% aerosolized-OVA, day21 to 25) BALB/c mice were challenged with PBS or rAg85B protein (i.p. (100 µg; days 0 and 14) and i.n. (20 µg; days 21, 23, and 25)). At 24 h after the last OVA sensitization, BAL fluid from naïve or OVA sensitized BALB/c mice treated with PBS or rAg85B, were harvested. BAL cells were stimulated with ionomycin and PMA for 5 h, and with brefeldin A added in the last 3 h. Flow cytometry of BAL cells from PBS-treated (upper) and rAg85B protein-treated (lower) OVA-sensitized mice stained with anti-CD3, anti-CD4, anti-CD8, anti-Gr-1, anti-γδ TCR, anti-NKp46, anti-CD11c, anti-CD127 (IL-7R) and Lineage specific marker (CD3, CD19, Gr-1, CD11b, CD11c). Numbers in quadrants indicate percent of cells in each (<i>A</i>). Intracellular IL-17 and IL-22 staining in indicated cells by flow cytometry (dot plots) and absolute numbers of those cell populations (side graphs) in the BAL fluid (<i>B, C, D, E, F, G</i>). Data are representative of at least two independent experiments (**P<0.01 compared with OVA control. error bars, s.d.; n = 6 mice).</p
