Abstract
Ozone (O(3)) exposure evokes asthma exacerbations by mechanisms that are poorly understood. We used a murine model to characterize the effects of O(3) on allergic airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness and to identify factors that might contribute to the O(3)-induced exacerbation of asthma.7523This publication has 53 references indexed in Scilit:
