Murine model of allergic airway inflammation. BALB/c mice were sensitized intraperitoneally (ip) with a mixture of ovalbumin and aluminium/magnesium hydroxide (OVA/Alum) on day 1 and 10. After a 10-day recovery period, 2.5, 10 or 40 μg/mouse of CuO nanomaterials dispersed in PBS with or without OVA were administered repeatedly to mice by oropharyngeal aspiration on days 20–23. Mice were sacrificed on day 24 for sample collection of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL) and lung tissue. ENM, engineered nanomaterial; PBS, phosphate buffered saline. (TIF 444 kb)
