Cotton Seed Aqueous Extract a Potent Allergen
نویسنده
چکیده
The extract used in an intradermal test (in the routine test for allergy) has caused deaths (Harris and Shure, 1950; Current Topics, 1951). The need for the test is doubted, as the oil obtained from the seed and used in shortening, salad oils, etc., does not contain the watersoluble protein which is the allergen. The danger, however, can be eliminated by performing a scratch test before the intradermal test. All highly sensitive subjects will be detected by the scratch test.

متن کاملEndothelial cell cytotoxicity of cotton bracts tannin and aqueous cotton bracts extract: tannin is the predominant cytotoxin present in aqueous cotton bracts extract.
Using an in vitro cytotoxicity assay based on the release of 51Cr from cultured porcine thoracic aortic and pulmonary arterial endothelial cells, we have demonstrated that cotton bracts tannin is a potent endothelial cell cytotoxin. It produces dose-dependent lethal injury to both types of endothelial cells with the aortic cells being somewhat more sensitive to tannin-mediated injury than the p...
