Inhibition of leukocyte infiltration into BALF by bioprocessed Ecklonia cava and its purified products administrations in OVA-sensitized/challenged mice. A Total leukocyte infiltration changes by bioprocessed Ecklonia cava and its purified products administration. B Lymphocyte, neutrophil, macrophage, and eosinophil infiltration profile changes by bioprocessed Ecklonia cava and its purified products. BALF was centrifuged to obtain cell pellets, which were resuspended in PBS, followed by centrifuging onto slide glass and subsequent staining with Wright−Giemsa staining. The slides were microscopically observed (magnification, × 40) for differential cell count by counting a total of 300 cells per slide. Total cell number in BALF was measured by cell counting using a hemocytometer. Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 10). Bars sharing a common letter are not significantly different between groups at p < 0.05
