Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Using a model protease antigen, we reported that the antigen protease activity on inhalation is essential to airway inflammation in epicutaneously presensitized mice; that cyclooxygenase inhibition promotes epicutaneous sensitization and subsequent airway inflammation; that epicutaneous tratment with antigen with inactivated protease activity prophylactically blocks subsequent induction of airway inflammation, and a new mechanism for subcutaneous sensitization. We found other mechanisms and a further new epicutaneous sensitization model with other symptoms, for which investigations are on-going.
