摘要
Objective To establish allergic airway inflammation model in late-phase airway reaction of Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. Methods Thirty-six SD rats were randomly divided into three groups-, control group (Group Ⅰ) ,single challenge group (Group Ⅱ ),consecutive challenge group (Group Ⅲ). The rats in Group Ⅱ and Group Ⅲ were sensitized twice by injection of ovalbumin (OA) together with aluminum hydroxide and Bordetella pertussis as adjuvants, followed by challenge with aerosolized OA for 20 min once in Group Ⅱ or one time on each day for one week in, Group Ⅲ. The rats in Group Ⅰ received 0. 9% saline by injection and inhalation. Results Compared with group Ⅰ , there were positive symptoms observed in the group Ⅱ and group Ⅲ; the amount of total leucocytes and eosinophil percentage in brochoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0. 01 respectively) in Group Ⅱ or Ⅲ ; histopathologic changes of lung showed acute allergic inflammation changes in Group Ⅱ: Disrupted epithelium damaged subepithelial structure and eosinophil infiltration in the airway wall. As for the Group Ⅲ, there were allergen- induced characteristic features of chronic allergic airways inflammation: hypertrophy and hyperplasia of bronchial smooth muscle, goblet cell hyperplasia, basement membrane thickening, eosinophil in filtration, edema. Conclusion The model of allergic airway inflammation in late-phase response of SD rats was successfully established by OA sensitization (twice) and consecutive challenge.
