ABSTRACT:
A method for reducing asthmatic response in a mammal comprising administering a response-reducing amount of O-desulfated heparin to the mammal, thereby reducing the asthmatic response. The amount can be administered by aerosolization. The O-desulfated heparin has O-desulfation at least at the 2-O and 3-O positions.
