Study of the paralytic effect of BoNTs on detrusor contractions:

After intensive washings and after at least 20 min of stable contractions, BoNTs were added to the baths, with final concentrations of 0.1 to 5 nmol/L. Each strip was exposed to only one concentration of BoNT. Amplitude of contractions was measured until 90% of the signal was abolished, or for 4 h if this value was not reached (for low concentrations). …

Adoptive transfer of BMBs:

After BM culture, WT and IL-6 deficient CD49b(DX5)⁺/c-kit basophils were isolated using a FACSAria II. Isolated basophils were injected intravenously into IL-6 deficient mice. The next day, mice were challenged intranasally with 40g of OVA peptides with 2µg of CT. Inflamed lungs and draining LNs were collected after 7 days.
