Effect of budesonide treatment on bronchoalveolar lavage inflammatory cell infiltration and interleukin-5 and interleukin-4 levels at day 1 post challenge. Actively sensitised female and male mice were treated intranasally with vehicle (n = 10), 0.3 mg/kg (n = 10) or 3 mg/kg (n = 10) of budesonide and challenged with ovalbumin 1 hour later. Data are expressed as mean ± standard error. * and # indicate significance against the vehicle-treated group and when comparing male and female mice, respectively.
