Effects of female sexual chemosignals on mucosal immunity in BALB/c and C57BL/6 male mice by G. V. Kontsevaya, E. A. Litvinova, M. P. Moshkin

“…Respiratory tract mucosal immune response to intranasal application of LPS, urea solution, saline and female urine used as a chemosignal was investigated in BALB/c and C57BL/6 male mice. Application of both female urine and LPS increased total white blood cell count and protein concentration in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in BALB/c, but not in C57BL/6 male mice, suggesting an important role of Th2 pathway in lung mucosal immune response. …”
