BACKGROUND
The pathogenic role of IgE has been implicated in a variety of allergic and inflammatory diseases. We have previously established an IgE-mediated cutaneous reverse passive Arthus model in which eosinophil infiltration is a prominent feature. This uniquely provides a model of type III
The aim of the present study was to investigate the contribution of bradykinin (BK) B(1) and B(2) receptors in a model of type III hypersensitivity, the reverse passive Arthus reaction (RPA), in wild-type mice and transgenic B(2) knockout littermates. BK (10 microg mouse(-1)) or bovine serum albumin
The Arthus reaction was studied in guinea pigs passively immunized with human diphtheria antitoxin. Diphtheria toxoid was given intradermally 24 hours following the intravenous administration of antitoxin and the subsequent reactions were graded and measured. The intensity of Arthus reactions was
Prominent eosinophil infiltration is a characteristic of some forms of vasculitis, such as Churg-Strauss syndrome, also known as allergic granulomatous vasculitis. In the current study, we established a mouse model of cutaneous eosinophilic vasculitis by the cutaneous reverse passive Arthus reaction
The anti-inflammatory effects of methotrexate (MTX), an anti-rheumatic drug for treating rheumatoid arthritis, on acute inflammation were studied by using Arthus reactions induced in the pleural cavity and dorsal skin of rats. The effects were compared with those of dexamethasone (DEX), a synthetic
The action of several steroidal and non-steroidal antiinflammatory agents, immunosuppressives, and antirheumatics (levamisole, chloroquine, sodium aurothiopropanol sulphonate, D-penicillamine) was studied in two models of Arthus-passive reaction in the rat: paw oedema induced by an anti-ovalbumin
The role of nitric oxide (NO) in the reverse passive Arthus reaction elicited in the rat skin has been studied. The reverse passive Arthus reaction was modulated by test compounds given by intradermal injection in combination with anti-bovine serum albumin antibody. L-arginine (1.5-15 micromol/site)
OBJECTIVE
The Arthus type allergic reaction is characterised by inflammatory cell infiltration and marked neovascularisation in the cornea. During the healing stages, inflammatory cells and newly formed microvessels gradually disappear. The aim was to establish whether apoptosis affected the
Active Arthus reactions were provoked by injections of 100 micrograms horseradish peroxidase (HRP), 10 micrograms HRP and 100 micrograms bovine serum albumin (BSA) into the skin of sensitized guinea pigs. Labeling indices (LI) of epidermal basal cells were measured 1, 4, 8, 24, 48 and 72 h later by
The properties of a novel platelet-activating factor (PAF) antagonist, L-652731, on oedema responses in rabbit skin induced by exogenous inflammatory mediators and by mediators generated endogenously in a reversed passive Arthus reaction have been investigated. Oedema responses in the skin were
The inhibitory effects of selected drugs on the Arthus reaction, a model of immune-complex-induced tissue injury, were studied. The reverse passive Arthus reaction (RPAR) was elicited in the dorsal skin of rats, using bovine serum albumin and the gamma-globulin fraction of rabbit anti-BSA. The
We have developed a local type experimental model of angiitisin rabbits. Repeated intracutaneous injections of erythrogenic toxins types A and C (ETA, ETC) along the intermediate auricular artery of the rabbit ear produced subacute type arteritis, characteristic of lymphocyticinfiltration,
Many pathogenic bacteria produce superantigenic exotoxins. To study their pathogenetic role, in particular to test whether these toxins are able to induce vasculitis, we developed a local-type experimental model in rabbits. Toxins were injected along the intermediate auricular artery of the ear. The
The changes associated with inflammation induced by immune complexes (reversed passive Arthus reaction induced with egg albumin-anti-egg albumin) were quantitated and the kinetics of the various vascular phenomena were ascertained. Hyperemia, increase in vascular permeability, platelet accumulation,
