Abstract:

Multiple injections of ovomucoid were given to mice with ongoing prolonged IgE antibody production to that antigen. Two inbred strains and antigen doses ranging from 0.05 to 5 micrograms each injection, given intradermally and subcutaneously, were used. Mice treated in this manner showed a marked diminution of the IgE antibody booster response as compared to controls. This decrease in booster response was antigen-specific. In addition, a protective effect from anaphylaxis was indicated. The mouse model continues to be a valuable tool for studies of certain IgE-mediated diseases. Author
