  1. Mice were sensitized and challenged as described in Methods. Serum levels of anti-OVA IgE antibody were assessed 6 h and 48 h after the last airway challenge. Mean values±SD are given (n = 8-12 in each group); PBS/OVA/vehicle/OVA: non-sensitized but challenged mice followed by treatment with vehicle; OVA/OVA/vehicle/OVA: sensitized and challenged mice followed by treatment with vehicle; OVA/OVA/Sivelestat/OVA: sensitized and challenged mice followed by treatment with sivelestat. *Significant differences (P<0.05) PBS/OVA/vehicle/OVA and OVA/OVA/vehicle/OVA.
