Mean lung resistance of Brown-Norway rats that were sensitized and challenged with nDer f 1 (SC) or sham treated with saline (SH) before (black columns) and 30 minutes after (white columns) the tracheal instillation of saline (in the SH groups) or nDer f 1 in saline (in the SC groups). The data in panel A are from rats whose vagus nerves were intact. The data in panel B are from rats whose vagus nerves were treated with perineural capsaicin (PCT). The data in panel C are from rats whose vagus nerves were cut (Vagotomy). * indicates a significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) from SC/O3 for before and after intratracheal instillation of nDer f 1. † indicates a significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) from SH/O3 for before and after intratracheal instillation. ‡ indicates a significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) from PCT. § indicates a significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) from Control. Values are mean ± sem. N’s for each group are reported in the results section of the text.
