a Results show comparisons with nonsensitized animals breathing filtered air.
NA = not tested. Dash = no change from air-exposed controls. Up arrow = significant increase relative to air-exposed nonsensitized animals. Down arrow = significant decrease relative to air-exposed nonsensitized animals. The number of arrows indicates the size of the effect (not the significance).
