摘要: Allergic sheep respond to inhaled Ascaris suum antigen either with an acute bronchoconstriction alone (acute responders, AR) or both and late (dual DR). In this study, we determined if: (1) inflammatory cell composition of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) obtained during the response differs between DR AR; (2) difference in cells is dependent on prechallenge BAL composition; (3) drugs that block airway responses also modify inflammation. Antigen challenge caused significant immediate mean increases specific lung resistance (SRl) (n = 28) AR 14), but only had a increase SRl. There were no differences two groups total returns percentage neutrophils 7.5 8 h after challenge, 3.5-fold (p < 0.05) eosinophils. Methylprednisolone succinate (15 mg/kg intravenously) given 7) 3 antigen...
