Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of oyster-derived polysaccharides (OPS) on the infiltration of interleukin-4 (IL-4) + cells in duodenum. Mice were treated as described in . Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining was performed to detect IL-4 + cells in the duodenum. The image was analyzed and the positive signal (the red color) was quantified using the Image-Pro Plus version 5.1 morphometric analysis software (200× field; Media Cybernetics, Inc., Silver Spring, MD, USA). Data are expressed as the mean ± standard error of 20–22 samples per group pooled from four independent experiments. * p < 0.05 compared to the VH group [vehicle-treated (distilled water; 0.1 mL/mouse)]. NS = nonsensitized; OVA = ovalbumin; VH = vehicle.
