In C3H mice sensitized with PBS-pulsed dendritic cells, subsequent challenge with PBS or HDM, resulted in levels of AHR (Figure 8a), airway eosinophilia (Figure 8b), and HDM-restimulated Th2 cytokine production (Figure 8c) comparable to that seen in PBS-sensitized and challenged animals (compare to Figure 1a). Here, AHR is linked to Increased total eosinophil count.
