[Effect of neurotropin (NSP) on allergic reactions (author's transl)]. 1981

A Koda, and H Nagai, and Y Kurimoto, and T Yamada, and H Mori, and T Nishiyori, and N Inagaki

A study was carried out to examine the effect on neurotropin (NSP) on the 4 types of allergic reactions classified by Coombs and Gell. 1) Type 1: NSP inhibited 48-hr homologous passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) as well as antigen-induced degranulation of rat mesenterium mast cells. The drug also inhibited both experimental asthma and histamine release from lung tissue in guinea pigs, as mediated by IgE antibody. 2) Type 2: NSP slightly suppressed the increase in urinary protein levels caused by nephrotoxic nephritis in rats and showed a tendency to inhibit Forssman shock in guinea pigs. NSP had an anticomplement activity in vitro but did not inhibit the reversed cutaneous anaphylaxis in rats. 3) Type 3: NSP suppressed an increase in the urinary protein level of rats with glomerulonephritis, as induced by immune complex. 4) Type 4: NSP slightly inhibited the increase in the urinary protein level in glomerulonephritic rats pretreated with IgG. However, the drug did not affect picryl chloride-induced contact dermatitis in mice. We conclude that NSP inhibits allergic reactions used in the present study except for reversed cutaneous anaphylaxis and contact dermatitis, and the most potent activity is seen in the case of Type 1 reaction.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D010323 Passive Cutaneous Anaphylaxis An evanescent cutaneous reaction occurring when antibody is injected into a local area on the skin and antigen is subsequently injected intravenously along with a dye. The dye makes the rapidly occurring capillary dilatation and increased vascular permeability readily visible by leakage into the reaction site. PCA is a sensitive reaction for detecting very small quantities of antibodies and is also a method for studying the mechanisms of immediate hypersensitivity.

D003877 Dermatitis, Contact A type of acute or chronic skin reaction in which sensitivity is manifested by reactivity to materials or substances coming in contact with the skin. It may involve allergic or non-allergic mechanisms.

D005921 Glomerulonephritis Inflammation of the renal glomeruli (KIDNEY GLOMERULUS) that can be classified by the type of glomerular injuries including antibody deposition, complement activation, cellular proliferation, and glomerulosclerosis. These structural and functional abnormalities usually lead to HEMATURIA; PROTEINURIA; HYPERTENSION; and RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. Bright Disease,Kidney Scarring,Glomerulonephritides,Scarring, Kidney
D006168 Guinea Pigs A common name used for the genus Cavia. The most common species is Cavia porcellus which is the domesticated guinea pig used for pets and biomedical research. Cavia,Cavia porcellus,Guinea Pig,Pig, Guinea,Pigs, Guinea
D006636 Histamine Release The secretion of histamine from mast cell and basophil granules by exocytosis. This can be initiated by a number of factors, all of which involve binding of IgE, cross-linked by antigen, to the mast cell or basophil's Fc receptors. Once released, histamine binds to a number of different target cell receptors and exerts a wide variety of effects. Histamine Liberation,Histamine Liberations,Histamine Releases
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
