Allergic Airway-Induced Hypersensitivity Is Attenuated by Bergapten in Murine Models of Inflammation
Bergapten (5-methoxypsoralen, 5-MOP) is a plant-derived furocoumarin with demonstrated anti-inflammatory action. The present study investigated its effects on allergic inflammation in two related pathways of mast cell degranulation. Compound 48/80 and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were used to activate t...
