Airway hyperresponsiveness is associated with inflammatory cell infiltration in allergic brown-Norway rats.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Allergic conjunctivitis is characterized by itchy, watery and swollen eyes which occur in response to exposure to seasonal or environmental allergens. The early phase reaction of allergic conjunctivitis is primarily mediated by mast cell degranulation while the late phase reaction is driven by Th2 cells and ...
