Prosopis juliflora pollen allergen induced hypersensitivity and anaphylaxis studies in guinea pigs

In vivo and in vitro allergenic activities of Prosopis juliflora pollen allergens were measured in guinea pigs. Intracutaneous skin test showed an early wheal flare response and a late erythema-redness, sensitized with various concentrations (100, 50, 25, 5 and 1.5 micrograms/ml) of Prosopis juliflora pollen extract after administration of a challenging dose. A 50 micrograms/ml sensitizing dose of Prosopis juliflora pollen allergen gave optimum skin response as both early and late effects. The nature of immunochemical reactivity between pollen allergens and reaginic antibodies were further characterized by histamine release test, gel diffusion test, radioallergosorbent test and passive cutaneous anaphylaxis test. These tests confirm allergenicity caused by Prosopis juliflora pollen allergens and showed the binding of allergens with reaginic antibody and its regulation in guinea pigs.     

Experimental sensitizing activity of Neisseria perflava]

In experiments conducted on guinea pigs the sensitizing activity of Neisseria perflava isolated from the mucous membranes of the bronchi of patients with infectious asthma was studied. A possibility of reproducing active skin anaphylaxis after Ovary and of the contraction-test of the tracheal-chain by the neisseria antigens was shown. Neisseria perflava was found to possess a greater sensitizing activity than Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae inhabiting the bronchi of patients with infectious asthma.     

Effect of oral exposure ofMycobacterium avium intracellular on the protective immunity induced by BCG

The relative protective efficacy of oral administration of mycobacteria as compared to the conventional intradermal route of vaccination has been assessed in guinea pigs. Skin test reactivity to partially purified protein derivative and protective immunity to challenge with virulentMycobacterium tuberculosis were used as parameters of protective immunity. Oral immunisation of guinea pigs either with BCG or withMycobacterium avium intracellulare induces skin test reactivity and protective immunity comparable to that induced by intradermal route of vaccination. Oral exposure ofMycobacterium avium intracellulare prior to oral or intradermal dose of BCG did not interfere with the protective immunity induced by BCG in guinea pigs challenged withMycobacterium tuberculosis H₃₇Rv.     

Leukotriene-dependent airway anaphylaxis in guinea pigs

The antiallergic efficacy of the selective leukotriene synthesis inhibitor, piriprost, was evaluated in two models of airway anaphylaxis in sensitized guinea pigs. Contractions of lung strips evoked by cumulative challenge with allergen were resistant to mepyramine and enhanced by indomethacin. On the other hand, piriprost shifted the dose-response curve markedly to the right, causing more than 50 % inhibition at the highest dose of allergen. The bronchoconstrictor response evoked by cumulative challenge with aerosols of allergen in anesthetized animals, also enhanced by indomethacin, had a distinct mepyramine-sensitive component. Aerosols of piriprost blocked almost completely the allergic bronchoconstriction remaining after indomethacin and mepyramine. These findings indicate that leukotrienes, but not cyclooxygenase products, are major mediators of the acute airway response to allergen in guinea pigs.     

The efficacy of BCG-induced tumor immunity in guinea pigs with regional and systemic malignancy

Summary It has been previously demonstrated that transplanted syngeneic line-10 hepatocarcinoma established in the skin of inbred guinea pigs (strain 2) regressed and regional lymph node metastases were eliminated after intratumoral injection of viable Mycobacterium bovis strain BCG. During the course of this reaction there is the development of systemic tumor immunity. The purpose of this study was to determine the relative efficacy of the induced tumor immunity to eliminate regional as well as systemic tumor burden. The approach to evaluate the efficacy of BCG-induced systemic tumor immunity in vivo, for regional as well as systemic tumor, was to develop a competition assay using increasing doses of intravascular disseminated line-10 tumor cells in animals with established regional tumors. The results clearly show that the efficacy of intratumoral BCG injection in producing regression of regional tumor is abrogated by initial intravascular doses of 10³–10⁶ line-10 cells. That the vascular systemic tumor burden diminished the effective systemic tumor immunity was demonstrated by the inability of animals with systemic tumor burdens to reject contralateral challenge of line-10 tumor cells. The capability of BCG-treated animals to reject contralateral line-10 challenge was inversely proportional to the initial intravascular tumor dose. Survival studies clearly demonstrate that a significant therapeutic effect could be achieved in guinea pigs with regional skin tumors and limited vascular metastases when the modality of therapy included BCG-intratumoral injection, followed 6 weeks later by surgery of the established skin tumor and regional lymph node. These results suggest that the development of tumor immunity after BCG-intratumoral injection is not impaired by the systemic tumor burden, but rather that it is preempted at distant sites. Abbreviations used in this paper: BCG, Bacillus Calmette-Guérin; i.a., intraarterially; i.d., intradermally; i.v., intravenously; SDA, superficial distal axillary.     

Antigenicity of penicillin G in the guinea pig

Antigenicity of penicillin G (PCG) was studied in guinea pigs. PCG 5 mg, 10 mg or 25 mg with Freund's complete adjuvant each on days 0, 7 and 21 was injected to a guinea pig: intramuscularly into both thighs and intracutaneously into four locations on the back. A remarkable antigenicity was induced in animals immunized with 25 mg although only low antigenicity in 5 mg and 10 mg. A maximum serum level of the antibody was observed about 2 weeks after last immunization and all of animals immunized with 25 mg died in active systemic anaphylaxis test. As mentioned above, it has been firstly demonstrated that a remarkable antigenicity of PCG can be produced by immunizing with a high dose of 25 mg in the guinea pig model in which PCG itself is used as immunogen.     

Direct skin test in highly sensitized guinea pigs for rapid and sensitive determination of staphylococcal enterotoxin B

The direct skin test in highly sensitized guinea pigs was developed as a rapid and extremely sensitive assay for detection of staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) in foods. This report details the experimental conditions required to elicit optimal sensitization of guinea pigs to SEB. An intense and persistent immunoglobulin E (IgE) anti-SEB response was established in strain 13 guinea pigs pretreated with cyclophosphamide followed by four sensitizing doses of 10 micrograms of SEB 1 month apart. The conditions, however, optimal for eliciting IgE responses led to a sustained failure to produce antibody of the IgG1 subclass. With the use of highly sensitized guinea pigs, one can achieve a sensitivity ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 pg of purified SEB by the direct skin test for at least 7 months after the last challenge. For analysis of SEB in food extracts, the entire assay can be accomplished within 20 min with a sensitivity of 10 to 100 pg SEB per ml of prepared food samples, and the recovery of enterotoxin from spiked food products ranged between 75 and 89% of the amount added.     

Complete local tumor regression with antibody to fibrin Fragment E.

Rabbit antibody to fibrin fragment E (FFE) was used in an immunotherapy model for the treatment of the line-10 ascites variant of a diethylnitrosamine-induced hepatoma in strain 2 guinea pigs. When 0.75 or 1.0 mg of an IgG preparation containing anti-FFE antibody was injected s.c. 6 and 16 days after the injection of a uniformly lethal dose of line-10 tumor cells, complete regression of the i.d. growing tumor was observed in all 18 strain 2 guinea pigs treated. Thus, this therapy appears to be more effective than any BCG or other immunotherapeutic regimen thus far reported for this tumor. No significant anti-tumor effect was noted when normal rabbit IgG or smaller doses (0.25 or 0.50 mg) of the anti-FFE IgG preparation were used. The injection sites exhibited an inflammatory response for 7 to 10 days characterized by erythema and hemorrhage. Since all animals were treated after the metastatic progression of the tumor is known to frequently occur, the long-term tumor-free survival of these animals as well as their resistance to subsequent tumor challenge indicate that the anti-FFE antibody therapy led to systemic tumor immunity.     

Induction of allergic reactions in guinea pigs with purified house dust mite allergens

To establish a guinea pig model for house dust mite allergy with purified mite allergens, we studied the immune response to two major mite allergens, native Der f 1 (nDer f 1) and recombinant Der f 2 (rDer f 2) and crude mite extract in Hartley guinea pigs. Animals were immunized with either mite extract, nDer f 1 or rDer f 2, four times at 2- to 3-week intervals. Then the guinea pigs were examined as to the status of sensitization to the sensitizing antigen. Intradermal injection of mite antigens to mite extract-, nDer f 1-, and rDer f 2-sensitized animals induced both immediate and late-phase cutaneous reactions. Allergic airway disease was also provoked by the intranasal instillation of rDer f 2 or mite extract. Anti-nDer f 1 and -rDer f 2 IgE as well as anti-mite extract IgE were produced in the sensitized guinea pigs and IgE titer for three mite antigens were comparable. We concluded that immunization of Hartley guinea pigs with nDer f 1 and rDer f 2 achieved sensitization to mite allergens, which was comparable to that obtained by the immunization with mite extract. A mite-allergic model suitable for immunological and pharmacological studies was established from rDer f 2-sensitized guinea pigs.
