Percentage of inflammatory cells in BALF of WT and Bmpr2 ΔE2 mice after saline or HDM exposure.

Increases in the percentage of neutrophils and eosinophils were observed in both HDM exposed wild-type (WT) and Bmpr2 ΔE2 (ΔE2) mice after 7 wk of HDM compared to saline controls. Lymphocytes were also increased after 7 wk of HDM exposure in Bmpr2 ΔE2 mice. Lymphocytes, neutrophils, and eosinophils were all increased after 20 wk of HDM exposure compared to saline controls. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. N = 4–12 mice per group in two independent experiments.*P∧P#P@P
