Cytokines and Aeroallergens in the Pathogenesis of Summer Pasture-Associated Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Effects on Endothelin Production, Neutrophil Activation and Chemotaxis
Summer pasture-associated obstructive pulmonary disease (SPAOPD), a naturally occurring airway disease of horses, is characterized by clinical exacerbation associated with exposure to pasture environment during the summer. Aeroallergens are believed to trigger exacerbation of SPAOPD, cytokines are l...
