Abstract
A method for isolating and superfusing a segment of the nasal cavity in the anaesthetized dog was developed. Introduction of Pseudomonas aeruginosa supernatant (PA), which is known to induce IL-8 release, resulted in a marked time-dependent exponential increase in neutrophil recruitment to the nasal chamber. When oxymetazoline (final concentration, 10(-5) M), was added to the superfusate, the PA induced-neutrophil migration was inhibited; the addition of benzalchoniul chloride to the superfusate had no effect on the PA induced-neutrophil migration. We conclude that a alpha2 adrenoceptor agonist profoundly inhibits neutrophil migration in response to bacterial products. Our novel method allows continuous introduction of stimuli and monitoring of responses in the nasal mucosa.
