Interference of a short-term exposure to nitrogen dioxide with allergic airways responses to allergenic challenges in BALB/c mice

Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a common indoor and outdoor air pollutant whose role in the induction of asthma is unclear. We investigated the effects of NO2 on the development of asthma-like responses to allergenic challenge in BALB/c mice. Ovalbumin (OVA)-immunized mice were intranasally challenged wit...
