Inhibition of murine reaginic antibody responses by nasal immunotherapy with modified allergen. 1980

M J Schumacher, and G F Mitchell

Optimal conditions were established for induction of reaginic antibodies to Lolium perenne pollen allergens in mice by intranasal dosing of allergens with Bordetella pertussis vaccine. This antibody response could be inhibited by pretreatment of the mice by nasal administration of 100 microgram of glutaraldehyde-modified L. perenne allergens 9 times in 3 weeks before priming, whereas native allergens, in doses of 5 microgram, did not inhibit an IgE response to subsequent priming. It was not possible to suppress an ongoing reaginic antibody response by intranasal treatment with either native allergens, or glutaraldehyde-modified allergens. Relevance to immunoprophylaxis of allergic disease is discussed.

D010567 Pertussis Vaccine A suspension of killed Bordetella pertussis organisms, used for immunization against pertussis (WHOOPING COUGH). It is generally used in a mixture with diphtheria and tetanus toxoids (DTP). There is an acellular pertussis vaccine prepared from the purified antigenic components of Bordetella pertussis, which causes fewer adverse reactions than whole-cell vaccine and, like the whole-cell vaccine, is generally used in a mixture with diphtheria and tetanus toxoids.
