Guinea pigs fed picryl chloride to induce specific immunologic unresponsiveness cleared small amounts of venously infused antipicryl antibody at a rate equal to that of normal guinea pigs. Catabolism of passively administered picryl-specific antibody did not alter the unresponsive state of picryl chloride-fed guinea pigs or the responsive state of normal guinea pigs. Lymphoid cells of picryl ch...

Mice produced reaginic antibody within 1 wk of painting with the contact sensitizing agent picryl chloride. The titers, measured by passive cutaneous anaphylaxis in rats, increased after repeated applications of picryl chloride. In contrast, serum agglutinins did not increase after two applications of picryl chloride. Reagin was also elicited by another contact sensitizing agent, oxazolone. Som...

Normal guinea pigs fed chemical haptens develop a specific state of unresponsiveness, inhibiting subsequent development of dermal sensitization with the same hapten and modifying profoundly the synthesis of anaphylactic antibody in response to hapten conjugated to guinea pig proteins. The degree of unresponsiveness has been tested by exposing hapten-fed animals to intense haptenic stimulation. ...

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...

T cells from mice injected with picryl sulfonic acid (PSA) can inhibit the anti-trinitrophenyl (TNP) antibody responses of mice produced after skin painting with picryl chloride (PCl). This had unusual specificity because the cells could inhibit IgG PFC responses in draining lymph nodes by 90% without affecting anti-TNP IgE responses as measured by heterologous adoptive cutaneous anaphylaxis. A...
