Elicitation of the prausnitz-kustner reaction by antiidiotypic antibodies.
نویسنده
چکیده
Rabbit antiidiotypic IgG directed against IgG F(ab')2 anti-tetanus toxoid (TT) antibodies ("idiotype") elicited a Prausnitz-Kustner reaction in normal skin sites sensitized 48 h earlier with the serum of the idiotype donor that contained IgE anti-TT antibodies. The serum moiety that caused the sensitization was heat sensitive (56 degrees C, 1 h), and was specifically removed by passage over immunosorbents containing rabbit antihuman IgE or TT antigen. The data obtained indicate that human IgG and IgE antibodies share idiotypic determinants and raise the possibility that idiotypic interactions may play a role in the regulation of the IgE antibody response in man.

IgE antibody against hepatitis B surface antigen in mice.
Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBs antigen) was examined for elicitation of IgE production by injection into mice. The Prausnitz-Küstner (PK)-type skin test in the rat was employed for detection of IgE antibody to HBs antigen, because no sufficient purified HBs antigen was available as the challenging antigen for the passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) test in rats. The positive PK test was consi...
متن کاملInduction of anti-tobacco mosaic virus antibodies in mice by rabbit antiidiotypic antibodies
Conventional rabbit antiidiotypic antibodies were raised against a private rabbit anti-tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) idiotype. These rabbit antiidiotypic antibodies were covalently coupled to lipopolysaccharide and then injected into BALB/c mice. As compared with controls, these mice, which have never seen the antigen, synthesized anti-TMV antibodies that are strongly idiotypically cross-reactive ...
متن کاملDetection of IgE, IgG, IgA and IgM antibodies against raw and processed food antigens
BACKGROUND Despite the first documented case of food allergy to cooked food in 1921 by Prausnitz and Kustner, all commercial food antigens are prepared from raw food. Furthermore, all IgE and IgG antibodies against dietary proteins offered by many clinical laboratories are measured against raw food antigens. METHODS We developed an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the measurement of IgE,...
متن کاملBinding specificity of antiidiotypic autoantibodies to anti-DNA antibodies in humans.
Human antiidiotypic antibodies to anti-DNA antibodies can be separated into at least two categories based on their binding to anti-DNA, antiidiotypic antibodies, and antigens. One type was found mainly in inactive stage of SLE. The antiidiotypic antibodies appear to be directed towards idiotype (Id) determinants in the antigen-binding sites of anti-DNA antibodies. Antibody from patient T.K. act...
متن کاملPorcine IgE in the context of experimental food allergy: purification and isotype-specific antibodies.
Measurement of allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) is a common practice in the investigation of allergy. It has not been possible to measure porcine IgE due to unavailability of anti-porcine IgE. This study was undertaken to purify and characterize porcine IgE from sera of allergic pigs, identify heterologous anti-IgE reactive with pig IgE and to use purified heavy (H) chain of porcine IgE...
