Inhalation of ozone (O3), a common environmental pollutant, causes pulmonary injury, pulmonary inflammation, and airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) in healthy individuals and exacerbates many of these same sequelae in individuals with pre-existing lung disease. However, the mechanisms underlying these

We previously reported that a recombinant IL-13 peptide-based virus-like particle vaccine significantly suppressed murine acute airway allergic inflammatory responses. The impact of this strategy on the development of chronic airway inflammation and remodeling has not been investigated. We evaluated

BACKGROUND: The effect of particle size on methacholine provocation concentration causing a decrease in forced expiratory volume of 1 second (FEV1) of 20% (PC20) is debatable.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the functional effects of 3 different particle size nebulizers on methacholine PC20.METHODS: Participa
