The role of CD23 on allergen-induced IgE levels, pulmonary eosinophilia and bronchial hyperresponsiveness in mice.

Analyzes the role of CD23 on allergen-induced immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels, pulmonary eosinophilia and bronchial hyperresponsiveness in mice. Sensitization of the mice to ovalbumin resulting in elevated levels of total serum IgE and ovalubumin-specific IgE; Significant increase in the percentage of eosinophils recovered in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from wild-type and CD23 mice.
