Immunohistochemistry of macrophage MIF in the lung was assessed quantitatively by using IPP 6.0 and expressed as integrated absorbency (IA). (A,B) MIF was weakly detected in airway in the control group (Control; n = 8). (C,D) MIF was prominent in airway in the ovalbumin group(OVA; n = 8) after the OVA challenge. (E,F) MIF was prominent in the airway in the ISO-1 group (ISO-1; n = 8). (G,H) MIF was weakly detected in the airway in the DEX group (DEX; n = 8) (original magnification: ×200) ^#P < 0.01 versus OVA group; ^ΔP < 0.01 versus control group.
