The oral treatment with a recombinant CCL11 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) was performed as previously described with modifications (27 (link)). Briefly, groups of sensitized mice were deprived of food for 2 h, followed by intragastric administration of an isotonic bicarbonate solution (8 parts HBSS and 2 parts 7.5% sodium bicarbonate) to neutralize stomach acidity. Individual mice were gavaged with a 0.1 ml PBS solution (pH 7.2) containing 1 µg of recombinant CCL11 and 30 min later, were gavaged with 50 mg of OVA in 0.5 ml of PBS.
