Abstract / Description of output

Mast cell degranulation is believed to act as a key event in initiating and maintaining airway response to allergen challenge in human asthma. It is hypothesized that the mast cell may play a similar role in equine heaves, which shares many similarities with occupational dust-induced asthma.
