Allergen‐induced early and late asthmatic responses to inhaled seasonal and perennial allergens
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The allergen bronchoprovocation (ABP) test is a validated model to study asthma pathophysiology and response to treatments. The inhibitory effect of agents on the allergen-induced late asthmatic response (LAR) is a predictor of their efficacy in asthma treatment. However, it is difficult to predict the magnitude of a LAR, which may vary according to immune responsiveness and the type of allergen used for ABP.
AIM: To determine the …
