A murine model of severe clinical asthma was used to study which bone marrow‐derived mononuclear cells (BMDMCs) are responsible for ameliorating airway hyperresponsiveness and lung inflammation. BMDMCs depleted of either CD11b‐positive cells (monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells) or Sca‐1‐positive cells (bone marrow‐derived mesenchymal stromal cells) were unable to ameliorate these conditions in this model. Depletion of the other cell types did not diminish the ameliorating effects of BMDMC administration.
