Persistence of asthmatic response after ammonium persulfate-induced occupational asthma in mice.
<h4>Introduction</h4>Since persulfate salts are an important cause of occupational asthma (OA), we aimed to study the persistence of respiratory symptoms after a single exposure to ammonium persulfate (AP) in AP-sensitized mice.<h4>Material and methods</h4>BALB/c mice receive...
