Abstract | BACKGROUND: OBJECTIVES: We investigated the association between environmental immunosuppressive chemicals and the allergic airway inflammation development. METHODS: RESULTS: Exposure to environmental immunosuppressive chemicals markedly increased serum IgE - IgE-positive B-cells, IgE and cytokines in lymph nodes - eosinophils and chemokines in BALF - IL-10a and IL-17 in the lung. CONCLUSIONS: Allergic airway inflammation can be aggravated by prior exposure to immunosuppressive environmental chemicals.
