Abstract

Segmental antigen bronchoprovocation was used to define the nature of the inflammatory process in allergic airway disease. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid obtained from allergic rhinitis patients 12 min after segmental antigen instillation (immediate response) revealed a significant increase in histamine and tryptase, but no cellular response. Repeat segmental lavage 48 h later (late response) showed marked and significant increases in both low and normal density eosinophils as well as striking elevations of eosinophil granular protein levels (major basic protein, eosinophil-derived neurotoxin, eosinophil cationic protein, and eosinophil peroxidase). Leukotriene C4, but not tryptase, concentrations were also consistently elevated in late lavage samples. Further, the late lavage samples showed a significant increase in interleukin-5 concentrations that correlated with the presence of eosinophils and eosinophil granular proteins. Neither eosinophils nor soluble mediators of eosinophils increased when normal subjects were similarly challenged with antigen. These data suggest that eosinophils are attracted to the airway during the late-phase allergic reaction and that IL-5 may produce changes in airway eosinophil density and promote the release of granular proteins to cause airway injury.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
