IGHE and Increased total eosinophil count: Endpoints of this study included: (1) characterizing the extent of pulmonary inflammation based on recovered BAL cell numbers and cell type; (2) assessing whether the HDM allergen mouse model captured the hallmarks of allergic airway inflammation, including an IgE antibody response, subepithelial inflammation of airways, pulmonary eosinophilia, and mucin production; and (3) defining the expression patterns of various genes and proteins involved in immune and antioxidant responses to gain insight into PM modulation of the allergic immune response.
