Measurement of airway function using invasive and non-invasive methodsin mild and severe models for allergic airway inflammation in mice

In this study a direct comparison was made between non-invasive and non-ventilated unrestrained whole body plethysmography (Penh) (conscious animals) and the invasive ventilated lung resistance (RL) method (anaesthetized animals) in both mild and severe allergic airway inflammation models. Mild infl...
