Grass pollen hypersensitivity in mice

A C McCaskill, C S Hosking, D J Hill
PMCID: PMC1555486  PMID: 7106842

Abstract

Mice were sensitized by intranasal administration of ryegrass pollen. Subsequent nasal challenge with pollen extract led to a `shock' response peaking in severity 4 hr after challenge. Histological examination of lungs revealed the development of a pneumonitis which was most severe 3 days after challenge.
