OVA-specific IgE level in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from OVA-sensitized/challenged allergic model mice orally administered with bioprocessed Ecklonia cava and its purified products. BALF was collected from Ecklonia cava extracts-administered sensitized/challenged Balb/c mice by lavaging tracheas with PBS. After centrifugation, supernatant was recovered from each mouse group or quantitation of OVA-specific IgE level in BALF using the ELISA kit. Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 10). Bars sharing a common letter are not significantly different between groups at p < 0.05
