Beschreibungen/Notizen

• [...]standard bronchial challenge tests (BCT) use nebulizer which deliver particles with mass median aerodynamic diameters (MMAD) from 1 to 5 μm. This suggests that BCT may not reflect domestic exposure. [...]we have demonstrated previously that large particle are more suitable to induce immediate bronchial response to cat allergen (Lieutier-Colas F et al, Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2003).
