ABSTRACT
Objective:
To investigate the changes of lung lymphocytes in OVA induced murine asthma model,and study the involvement of NK cells in this process.Methods:
C57BL/6J(B6) mice were induced to develop asthma by intrapenitoneal injection of OVA with alum as adjuvant, and then inhalation of nebulized OVA. After collecting serum and Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid(BALF),IL-4 level was determined by ELISA. The kinetics of pulmonary lymphocyte recruitment and cytokine release were detected by flow cytometry.Results:
IL-4 expression increased in BALF after OVA nebulization, while there was no significant difference in serum. IFN-?,IL-4+NK cells accumulation in lung parenchymal tissues,and exhibited an evident NK2 shift in mice with asthma.Conclusion:
NK cell involved in OVA-induced mouse asthma and NK2 shift accompany with Th2, indicating that NK2 played an important role in this process.
