Low-dose endotoxin inhalation in healthy volunteers - a challenge model for early clinical drug development

BACKGROUND: Inhalation of endotoxin (LPS) induces a predominantly neutrophilic airway inflammation and has been used as model to test the anti-inflammatory activity of novel drugs. In the past, a dose exceeding 15–50 μg was generally needed to induce a sufficient inflammatory response. For human stu...
