SummaryThe differences among human, rabbit and guinea-pig platelet adhesiveness as for inhibitions by adenosine, dipyridamole, chlorpromazine and acetylsalicylic acid are described, and the influence of measurement conditions on platelet adhesiveness is also reported. Platelet adhesiveness of human and animal species decreased with an increase of heparin concentrations and an increase of flow rate of blood passing through a glass bead column. Human and rabbit platelet adhesiveness was inhibited in vitro by adenosine, dipyridamole and chlorpromazine, but not by acetylsalicylic acid. On the other hand, guinea-pig platelet adhesiveness was inhibited by the four drugs including acetylsalicylic acid. In in vivo study, adenosine, dipyridamole and chlorpromazine inhibited platelet adhesiveness in rabbits and guinea-pigs. Acetylsalicylic acid showed the inhibitory effect in guinea-pigs, but not in rabbits.

Small amounts of purified ox insulin and its component chains provoked passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) in guinea pigs previously injected intradermally with antiserum to ox insulin. Cod insulin and its chains also yielded a PCA reaction with antiserum to cod insulin, indicating that antibody-combining sites are located on both the A- and B-chains of insulin Enzymic digestion of the chain preparations essentially destroyed their ability to combine with anaphylactic antibodies, although the B-chain digests had some residual PCA reactivity.Ox and cod insulins gave positive PCA reactions with the heterologous antiserum but at higher levels than with the homologous antiserum, and none of the four chain preparations reacted with the heterologous antiserum. These results demonstrated differences between the antibody-combining sites on the chains of ox and cod insulins.Insulins from a wide range of species also yielded a PCA reaction with antisera to cod and ox insulins, suggesting that the different hormone preparations have certain antigenic determinants in common. Immunologic relationships between several insulins were derived from the competitive inhibition of one antiserum by the other when both were present in the same animal.

Guinea pigs receiving one large dose of picryl chloride by the intravenous or oral routes commonly develop circulating antibody demonstrable by passive cutaneous anaphylaxis or by active anaphylaxis. They often concommittantly become unresponsive to the induction of delayed contact hypersensitivity by intracutaneous injections. Erythrocytes obtained from guinea pigs after infusion or feeding of picryl chloride may be used to sensitize other animals when injected with adjuvant. It is concluded that guinea pigs may be anaphylactically sensitized to simple chemicals by the intravenous and oral routes if a sufficient dose is administered.

Antibody capable of sensitizing rabbit skin for passive cutaneous anaphylaxis is produced in the rabbit as early as 6 to 7 days following antigenic stimulation. It reaches peak activity around the 9th day and is gone by the 3rd wk. The antibody is heat labile, sensitive to treatment with mercaptoethanol, non-precipitating and does not fix complement. In order to demonstrate PCA activity a latent period is required of from 48 to 72 hr after introduction of the antibody into the rabbit's skin; the activity can persist for at least 17 days. It has a faster electrophoretic mobility than rabbit γG-globulin, and is eluted somewhat earlier than γG-globulin from Sephadex G-200, although distinctly after γM-globulin. No relationship was demonstrated between the rabbit PCA activity and the hemagglutinating activity found in the same sera. The rabbit anaphylactic antibody differs in almost all properties studies from the rabbit 7S antibody capable of sensitizing guinea pigs for PCA which arises at the same time. This latter antibody found early in immunization had properties which were indistinguishable from those described for the rabbit 7S antibody giving PCA in the guinea pig found in late hyperimmune sera.

The heat-stable, homocytotropic antibody synthesized by guinea pigs to highly purified dextran has been studied by passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA). Antibody arising in single guinea pigs was found to give PCA in some homologous recipients but not in others. Data are presented which indicate that the antibodies are bound in the skin of some animals to a greater degree than in that of others. This suggests some type of variability, perhaps allotypic, in the Fc portion of these immunoglobulins which relates to specificities of the loci where Fc becomes fixed in skin.

Some properties of mouse antibodies produced by hyperimmunization with conjugated haptens, emulsified in complete adjuvant, have been investigated. Under these conditions two antigenically different types of precipitating antibody, with small differences in their electrophoretic mobilities, both migrating in the γ-region, are produced. Both antibody types were shown to be different from the ß2A-globulins) as revealed by the absence of reaction with specific rabbit antisera against mouse ß2A-myeloma globulins. γ2 or the slower migrating antibodies, similarly to what has been described for the guinea pig, were able to provoke lysis of antigen-coated tanned sheep erythrocytes, in the presence of complement. This activity could not be detected in the faster migrating antibody type. The slower migrating fractions of the γ2-antibodies were able to transfer passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) in the guinea pig, but not in their own species. γ1-Antibodies were found to be capable of sensitizing the mouse for cutaneous anaphylaxis. The sensitivity of these antibodies to reduction and alkylation was different, the lytic activity being practically abolished, the PCA titers in mice much reduced, and the PCA activity in guinea pigs only partially inactivated.

Background: Despite the well-known fact that acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) can induce anaphylaxis in patients susceptible to wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis, few studies have sought to investigate the effects of cofactors on type-1 food allergy and none with ASA and hen’s egg and hen’s egg and alcohol combined. Methods and results: We applied the experimental model of ‘passive cutaneous anaphylaxis’ in humans to study whether the absorption kinetics of egg white is altered while being treated with ASA or under the influence of alcohol. Donor sera from four egg allergic patients with specific immunoglobulin E (s-IgE) to ovalbumin (0.1–8.87–19.5–170 kUA/L) were injected intracutaneously into the forearm of 12 healthy volunteers who were then challenged separately to: 1) egg white 2) egg white + ASA and 3) egg white + alcohol. ‘Time to wheal’ and ‘wheal size’ were compared among the three experiments. We saw that ‘time to wheal’ with both ASA (P = 0.001) and alcohol (P = 0.019) added as cofactor significantly decreased compared with baseline. Conclusion: In this passive cutaneous anaphylaxis model, ASA and alcohol affected both reaction time and size of reactions elicited after egg ingestion. This suggests that patients with egg allergy could have faster and more severe reactions during ASA treatment or under alcohol influence.
