To test the effect of iBALT on the immune response to a pulmonary allergen, we administered LPS (or PBS) to neonatal mice as described above, allowed the mice to rest until they were 7 weeks old, then intranasally sensitized the iBALT and control groups with 100 µg OVA in combination with low dose (0.1 µg) LPS on days 49, 50, and 51 and challenged them on days 63, 64, 67, and 68 with 25 µg OVA ( Figure 1E ). Together, these data suggest that the spatial distribution of effector Th2 cells and Tregs is affected by the presence of iBALT (they cluster together), which may explain how iBALT and control mice can have similar numbers of Th2 cells in their lungs, but have so profoundly different outcomes in terms of eosinophil accumulation and histopathology. ./cache/cord-261367-i1n8x0uc.txt ./txt/cord-261367-i1n8x0uc.txt
