Effect of Cymbopogon citratus on the production of IgE (a), IgG1 (b) and IgG2a (c) in the serum of mice sensitized with Bt antigen. A/J mice were sensitized and treated with saline (Control), sensitized with Blomia tropicalis (100 μg/animal) and 4 mg/mL of [AL(OH)3] and treated with saline (Bt), sensitized with Blomia tropicalis (100 μg/animal) and 4 mg/mL of [AL(OH)3] and treated with Cymbopogon citratus hexane extract (CyH) at 60 mg/kg (Bt/CyH60), 120 mg/kg (Bt/CyH120), 180 mg/kg (Bt/CyH180) or 3 mg/kg dexamethasone (Bt/Dex). Columns represent the mean values of results obtained from five animals, and error bars represent the standard deviation from the means. ### p < 0.001 vs. control; *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001 vs. Bt group by ANOVA-Tukey
