To investigate mechanisms underlying the late asthmatic response, we developed a murine model using repetitive intratracheal antigen challenge. BALB/c mice sensitized by i.p. injection with ovalbumin+alum were challenged with ovalbumin intratracheally 4 times. The 1st challenge induced early airway obstruction peaking at 30 min but without a late response; however, the 4th challenge caused not only early but also late airway obstruction at 2-8 h. Eosinophils, and CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes were increased in the airway before the 4th but not before the 1st-3rd challenges. The numbers of IgE+/CD117+ (mast) cells were also increased in the lung before the 4th challenge. Levels of Th2 cytokines were also increased in the airway. Daily administration of dexamethasone during the challenge period suppressed all these inflammatory events. Thus, this experimental late asthmatic response is associated with Th2 cytokine production from inflammatory cells recruited as a consequence of the 1st-3rd challenges.

D007073 Immunoglobulin E An immunoglobulin associated with MAST CELLS. Overexpression has been associated with allergic hypersensitivity (HYPERSENSITIVITY, IMMEDIATE). IgE
D007074 Immunoglobulin G The major immunoglobulin isotype class in normal human serum. There are several isotype subclasses of IgG, for example, IgG1, IgG2A, and IgG2B.

D007249 Inflammation A pathological process characterized by injury or destruction of tissues caused by a variety of cytologic and chemical reactions. It is usually manifested by typical signs of pain, heat, redness, swelling, and loss of function.

D007274 Injections, Intraperitoneal Forceful administration into the peritoneal cavity of liquid medication, nutrient, or other fluid through a hollow needle piercing the abdominal wall. Intraperitoneal Injections,Injection, Intraperitoneal,Intraperitoneal Injection
D007962 Leukocytes White blood cells. These include granular leukocytes (BASOPHILS; EOSINOPHILS; and NEUTROPHILS) as well as non-granular leukocytes (LYMPHOCYTES and MONOCYTES).

D008168 Lung Either of the pair of organs occupying the cavity of the thorax that effect the aeration of the blood. Lungs
D008407 Mast Cells Granulated cells that are found in almost all tissues, most abundantly in the skin and the gastrointestinal tract. Like the BASOPHILS, mast cells contain large amounts of HISTAMINE and HEPARIN. Unlike basophils, mast cells normally remain in the tissues and do not circulate in the blood. Mast cells, derived from the bone marrow stem cells, are regulated by the STEM CELL FACTOR. Basophils, Tissue,Basophil, Tissue,Cell, Mast,Cells, Mast,Mast Cell,Tissue Basophil,Tissue Basophils
