[Dynamics of homocytotropic antibody production in pigs]. 1980

T Frymus, and A Bakalarska, and A Schollenberger

Homocytotropic antibody (HTA) production in pigs was stimulated by sensitization with alum precipitated equine serum or with equine serum in Freund's complete adjuvant. Two doses of appropriate antigen were given in 7 days interval simultaneously with heat inactivated suspension of Bordetella pertussis organisms. HTA were detected in 6 of 10 pigs sensitized with alum precipitated serum and in 4 of 6 pigs sensitized with serum in Freund's complete adjuvant. In pigs sensitized with alum precipitated serum HTA appeared at day 6 after the first antigen administration. In pigs sensitized with serum in Freund's complete adjuvant HTA appeared at day 18 after the first antigen administration. Time course of appearance of HTA was about 10 days in both groups. Alum precipitated serum elicited considerably higher titres of HTA than equine serum in Freund's complete adjuvant. The passive cutaneous anaphylaxis activity of the HTA sera was located in the 7S fraction.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007073	Immunoglobulin E	An immunoglobulin associated with MAST CELLS. Overexpression has been associated with allergic hypersensitivity (HYPERSENSITIVITY, IMMEDIATE).	IgE
D007106	Immune Sera	Serum that contains antibodies. It is obtained from an animal that has been immunized either by ANTIGEN injection or infection with microorganisms containing the antigen.	Antisera,Immune Serums,Sera, Immune,Serums, Immune
D007114	Immunization	Deliberate stimulation of the host's immune response. ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of ANTIGENS or IMMUNOLOGIC ADJUVANTS. PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of IMMUNE SERA or LYMPHOCYTES or their extracts (e.g., transfer factor, immune RNA) or transplantation of immunocompetent cell producing tissue (thymus or bone marrow).

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.

D001886	Bordetella pertussis	A species of gram-negative, aerobic bacteria that is the causative agent of WHOOPING COUGH. Its cells are minute coccobacilli that are surrounded by a slime sheath.	Bacterium tussis-convulsivae,Haemophilus pertussis,Hemophilus pertussis
D005620	Freund's Adjuvant	An antigen solution emulsified in mineral oil. The complete form is made up of killed, dried mycobacteria, usually M. tuberculosis, suspended in the oil phase. It is effective in stimulating cell-mediated immunity (IMMUNITY, CELLULAR) and potentiates the production of certain IMMUNOGLOBULINS in some animals. The incomplete form does not contain mycobacteria.	Freund Adjuvant,Adjuvant, Freund,Adjuvant, Freund's,Freunds Adjuvant
D006736	Horses	Large, hoofed mammals of the family EQUIDAE. Horses are active day and night with most of the day spent seeking and consuming food. Feeding peaks occur in the early morning and late afternoon, and there are several daily periods of rest.

D000534	Alum Compounds	Aluminum metal sulfate compounds used medically as astringents and for many industrial purposes. They are used in veterinary medicine for the treatment of ulcerative stomatitis, leukorrhea, conjunctivitis, pharyngitis, metritis, and minor wounds.	Compounds, Alum
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.
