Ion Transport in Rat Tracheal Epithelium In Vitro: Role of Capsaicin-sensitive Nerves in Allergic Reactions
Abstract
Tracheas from control rats or rats sensitized to egg albumin (EA) were studied in vitro in Ussing chambers, and changes in short-circuit current (Isc) induced by the addition of antigen or agonists on the mucosal (luminal) side were recorded. Addition of EA (100 micrograms/ml) to tracheas from sensitized but not from control rats caused a slow increase of Isc beginning after 15 to 30 s and maximal at 3 to 4 min. This response was inhibited in …
