The effects of mold exposure on cells in BAL fluid. Repeated exposures of mice to Stachybotrys chartarum shift the immune response from type 1 to type 2. Mice intratracheally instilled with S. chartarum weekly for 7 weeks (multiple dosed), with saline instilled weekly for 6 weeks followed by a single intratracheal instillation of S. chartarum in the seventh week (single dosed), and with saline instilled weekly for 7 weeks (control). BAL analysis was performed 24 hours after the last instillation. *Adjusted false discovery rate (FDR) q value less than 0.05 versus control; †adjusted FDR q value less than 0.05 versus single-dosed mice; two-way ANOVA. Data are mean (±SE); n = 10–12. Adapted by permission from Reference .
