متن کاملAggravation of ovalbumin-induced murine asthma by co-exposure to desert-dust and organic chemicals: an animal model study
BACKGROUND The organic chemicals present in Asian sand dust (ASD) might contribute to the aggravation of lung eosinophila. Therefore, the aggravating effects of the Tar fraction from ASD on ovalbumin (OVA)-induced lung eosinophilia were investigated. METHODS The Tar fraction was extracted from ASD collected from the atmosphere in Fukuoka, Japan. ASD collected from the Gobi desert was heated a...
