We observed that mice, from L.rhamnosus-treated mothers, inoculated with ovalbumin (OVA)-Aluminium hydroxide (ALUM) at 3 days of life and challenged intranasally 4 weeks later showed decreased Th2-associated cytokines, IgE and IgG1, lung eosinophilia and airway hyper-reactivity compared to OVA-sensitized mice from untreated mothers. This evidence concerns the gene IGHE and Increased total eosinophil count.
