Inhalation of aerosolized ovalbumin will cause both these reactions to
occur in animals such as rats, mice and guinea-pigs which have
previously been sensitized by intraperitoneal or intradermal
injections of ovalbumin.

For example:
Histopathological and immunohistochemical studies on experimental
asthmatic model induced by aerosolized ovalbumin inhalation in guinea
pigs.

"To establish an animal model of asthma, fully sensitized guinea pigs
inhaled aerosolized ovalbumin after booster treatments... From 1 to 6
hours after provocation, anaphylactic changes such as perivascular
edema and bronchoconstriction were detected. After that, intensive
infiltration of eosinophils appeared and lasted until 48 hours after
provocation. "

Search strategy: I was already familiar with ovalbumin-based asthma
models, so I searched on the terms: ovalbumin, asthma,
bronchoconstriction, infiltration
