A hallmark of atopic asthma is development of chronic airways hyper-responsiveness (AHR) that persists in the face of ongoing exposure to perennial aeroallergens. We investigated underlying mechanisms in sensitized rats focusing on a strain expressing the high-allergen–responder phenotype characteristic of human atopic asthmatics, and find that their high susceptibility to aeroallergen-induced persistent AHR is associated with deficiencies in the immunoregulatory and mucosal trafficking… CONTINUE READING
