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.
