This protocol describes the sensitization and challenge of mice with ovalbumin for use as an acute murine model of asthma. This protocol induces reproducible airway inflammation and remodelling, and bronchial hyperresponsiveness to methacholine as measured by barometric plethysmography, as well as by the Flexivent® technique in Balb/c mice.
