The challenge of previously sensitized guinea pigs with aerosolized ovalbumin resulted in impairment of the beta-adrenoceptor-mediated relaxation as measured by the in vitro isometric assay of tracheas preconstricted with endothelin-1 or carbamylcholine. Numbers and affinities of beta-adrenoceptors in lung membranes of these animals were not altered under these conditions, although the antigen challenge caused an inflammatory response, as evident from the accumulation of inflammatory cells...
