Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is an inflammatory mediator that causes bronchial smooth muscle contraction In Iflfro and In Ifllfo in experimental animals. To characterize the effect of PAF on human airways, 6 normal subjects and 6 SUbjectswith mild asthma inhaled PAFusing a standard bronchoprovocation protocol and nebulizer concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 1000I1g/ml. Aerosolized PAF produced bronchoconstrictlon In 5 of 6 normal and 3 of 6 asthmatic SUbjects as defined by at least a 35% decrease In specific airway conductance (SGaw). However, In these same subjects, flow rates measured at 30% of vital capacity from a partial forced expiratory maneuver (V30P) did not decrease at least 30% nor did the FEV, decrease by 20%. The 8 PAF responders were 5 to 836 times more sensitive to PAF than to methacholine when SGaw was used to assess the airway response. The relative airway sensitivity of the PAFnonresponders could not be assessed. Normal and asthmatic subjects could not be differentiated by their airway response to PAF, and there were no clinical features that differentiated PAF responders from nonresponders. The maximal airway response to PAFoccurred within 2 to 3 min and lasted 15to 45 min. There were no late reactions.
