| Research Abstract |
After ovalbumin inhalation in sensitized +/+ mice, immediate asthmatic response and late asthmatic response was observed. In sensitized w/wィイD1vィエD1 mice bronchoconstrictive response was not observed in IAR and weak in LAR. This result shows that mast cell might not play an important roll in late asthmatic response, but have some influence on late asthmatic response. Then, what cell does play an important roll in late asthmatic response? To resolve this question I examined the roll of T lymphocyte.
In sensitized mice lacking of T cell late asthmatic response was very weak. In mice which sensitized T cell were imported into, late asthmatic response was observed after ovalbumin inhalation. This result shows that T cell plays an important roll in late asthmatic response. Although the mechanism of airway hyperactivity is unknown, CD4+/T helper (TH2) cell is shown to be very important in many reports. But, in this experiment, between TH1 dominant C57BL6 and TH2 dominant BALB/c mouse there was no difference in late asthmatic response. About this point I will investigate further.
I think this experiment made clear the roll of mast cell and T cell.
