<p>BSMCs isolated from PBS-sensitized control and OVA sensitized <i>αSMA-hrGFP;NG2-DsRed</i> mice were allowed to attach to collagen I gel in culture for 72 hrs before assays. (<b>A</b>) Images of hrGFP<sup>+</sup> BSMCs from PBS control and OVA sensitized mice (insert) and their traction maps on collagen I gels. (<b>B</b>) Contractile moment measurement of individual BSMCs from control and sensitized mice based on their traction maps. The line represents the mean of individual measurements of control (n = 20) and acute asthmatic (n = 22) cells. (<b>C</b>) Measurement of cell size of BSMCs from PBS sensitized control and OVA sensitized mice. The line represents the mean of individual measurements. **p<0.008.</p
