Increased airway hyperresponsiveness and inflammation in a juvenile mouse model of asthma exposed to air-pollutant aerosol.

Abstract excerpt

Asthma and its exacerbation by air pollution are major public health problems. This investigation sought to more precisely model this disorder, which primarily affects children, by using very young mice. The study first attempted to create allergic airway hypersensitivity in neonatal mice and to determine if physiologic testing of airway function was possible in these small animals. Neonatal mice were sensitized...
