Compared to the induction of inflammatory cells in the BAL by OVA, Grx2 and Trx1 showed similar potency to suppress inflammatory parameters such as total BAL cells (Figure 2A) (PBS 0.44·105/ml, OVA 1.36·105/ml, Grx2/OVA 0.43·105/ml, Trx1 0.6·105/ml), suppression of eosinophilia (PBS 0·105/ml, OVA 0.89·105/ml, Grx2/OVA 0.11·105/ml, Trx1 0.2·105/ml), and infiltration of lymphocytes (PBS 0·105/ml, OVA 0.18·105/ml, Grx2/OVA 0.04·105/ml, Trx1 0.06·105/ml). This evidence concerns the gene TXN and Increased total eosinophil count.
