An intrastrain cross-reactive idiotype, CRIA, is associated with a large proportion of the anti-p-azophenylarsonate (anti-Ar) antibodies of A/J mice. The present experiments, in which the methods of direct and reverse passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (RPCA) were used, indicate that IgE anti-Ar antibodies are produced in A/J mice upon stimulation with a protein-Ar conjugate and that a large proportion of these antibodies express CRIA. The use of monoclonal anti-CRIA for RPCA eliminated the strong nonspecific reactions previously observed. The results provide a basis for studying factors that regulate the switch to IgE biosynthesis during an immune response.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007073 Immunoglobulin E An immunoglobulin associated with MAST CELLS. Overexpression has been associated with allergic hypersensitivity (HYPERSENSITIVITY, IMMEDIATE). IgE
D007130 Immunoglobulin Idiotypes Unique genetically-controlled determinants present on ANTIBODIES whose specificity is limited to a single group of proteins (e.g., another antibody molecule or an individual myeloma protein). The idiotype appears to represent the antigenicity of the antigen-binding site of the antibody and to be genetically codetermined with it. The idiotypic determinants have been precisely located to the IMMUNOGLOBULIN VARIABLE REGION of both immunoglobin polypeptide chains.

D010132 p-Azobenzenearsonate A hapten capable of eliciting both antibody formation and delayed hypersensitivity when bound to aromatic amino acids, polypeptides or proteins. It is used as an immunologic research tool. Azophenylarsonate,para-Azobenzenearsonate,p Azobenzenearsonate,para Azobenzenearsonate
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.
