VD prevents airway hyperresponsiveness in the mouse model. Pulmonary resistance was measured using the forced oscillation technique. Mice from each group were treated with methacholine at increasing concentrations. Actual maximum resistance is displayed for each group. Mice given pVD chitosan nanoparticles had significantly lower resistance than those from the OVA control group or the group receiving pVAX1 control nanoparticles (p < 0.05).
