Quantification of mast cells in Toluidine blue-stained skin sections from mock- and OVA-sensitized mice at the day of inoculation and 7 days after mock- or WR-inoculations.

Data represent mean +/− S.E.M.; n = 2–5 mice in each group. ND, not determined. Statistically significant decrease in the number of mast cells compared to analogously sensitized Nc/Nga mice, xP<0.1, *P<0.05, **P<0.01; ***P<0.001. Statistically significant decrease in the number of mast cells in OVA-sensitized Balb/c mice compared to mock-sensitized Nc/Nga mice. aP<0.05.
