Measurement of H-2 and non-H-2 antigens in the mouse with the footpad swelling test. 1976

N D Kon, and P A Klein

The footpad swelling (FPS) test for delayed-type hypersensitivity in the mouse was evaluated for its ability to measure histocompatibility (H) antigens present on intact spleen cells or solubilized from a methylcholanthrene-(MCA) induced fibrosarcoma. Mice were immunized to H-antigens (H-2 or non-H-2) with skin allografts and challenged 14 days later with test antigens. Spleen cell-bound and solubilized H-antigens elicited strong and specific FPS reactions in allograft-immunized but not in unimmunized mice. The test could distinguish H-2 from non-H-2 antigens as well as D from KI region specificities of the H-2 gene complex. These experiments suggest that the FPS test is a reliable in vivo method for measuring both cell-bound and solubilized H-antigens in the mouse.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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).

D007519 Isoantigens Antigens that exist in alternative (allelic) forms in a single species. When an isoantigen is encountered by species members who lack it, an immune response is induced. Typical isoantigens are the BLOOD GROUP ANTIGENS. Alloantigens,Alloantigen,Isoantigen

D008805 Mice, Inbred A An inbred strain of mouse that is widely used in IMMUNOLOGY studies and cancer research. Mouse, Inbred A,Inbred A Mice,Inbred A Mouse
D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D006614 Hindlimb Either of two extremities of four-footed non-primate land animals. It usually consists of a FEMUR; TIBIA; and FIBULA; tarsals; METATARSALS; and TOES. (From Storer et al., General Zoology, 6th ed, p73) Hindlimbs
D006649 Histocompatibility Antigens A group of antigens that includes both the major and minor histocompatibility antigens. The former are genetically determined by the major histocompatibility complex. They determine tissue type for transplantation and cause allograft rejections. The latter are systems of allelic alloantigens that can cause weak transplant rejection.

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.

Usually refers to genetically disparate individuals in contradistinction to isogeneic transplantation for genetically identical individuals.
