CpG-ODN therapy diminished the number of eosinophils in WT mice, while it was only partially effective in prevention of eosinophilia in IFN-β-/- mice with significant differences between the CpG-ODN treated and non-treated mice in WT and IFN-β-/- (table 3). Here, IFNB1 is linked to Increased total eosinophil count.
