HDM: house dust mite. Mouse strains consisted of BALB/c and C57BL/6. Rats were Norway strain. AWI: airway inflammation (histology). NS: nasal symptoms (sneezing and rubbing). CSI: cytokine suppression of allergen-IgE production. BPR: bronchopulmonary resistance. DTH: delayed type hypersensitivity. LSC: lung score. NSC: nasal score. CLPR: cutaneous late-phase reaction. DTP: decrease allergen-specific T cell proliferation. DCP: decreased allergen-specific cytokine production.
