Serial nasal lavage and induced sputum samples were assessed for viral copy number and inflammatory cell counts.

Biomarkers in nasal lavage (NL) fluid may be useful in determining the presence and severity of upper airway inflammation.

The nasal lavage fluid revealed no increase in eosinophils or IL-5, and the nasal airway resistance did not increase after challenge either.

Results: Histamine produced significant increases in nasal lavage fluid levels of alpha2-macroglobulin at all observation points (5 through 55 minutes after treatment).

Nasal lavage mediators were analysed using a sensitive multiplexed bead immunoassay system.

The levels of histamine and TAME-esterase activity in recovered nasal lavages were not changed significantly by either pre-treatment at either dose.

The nasal responses were monitored by means of symptom scores and measurements of N alpha-p-tosyl-L-arginine methyl esterase (TAME) activity in nasal lavages.
