Figure 8 The expression and phosphorylation of STATs in mouse
lungs after the transfer of BMDCs to OVA-sensitized mice. The protocol
for OVA-induced allergic asthma and the transfer of BMDCs to
OVA-sensitized mice was the same as in Fig. 3.
Lung tissues were homogenized after the adoptive transfer of BMDCs to
OVA-sensitized mice. Mononuclear cells were isolated from the
homogenate. STATs and phosphorylated STATs were detected by WB. The
right columns represent the densitometer analysis of WB. (A) STAT1 and
py-STAT1 expression; (B) STAT4 and py-STAT4 expression; (C) STAT6 and
py-STAT6 expression. Data are representative of 3 independent
experiments with similar results (*P < 0.05, ns: no
significant difference).
