arthus reaction/edema

Colchicine and N-desacetyl-N-methylcolchicine suppressed both the reversed passive Arthus reaction and the carrageenan-induced edema in the rat. Colchicine, 2-desmethyl-colchicine glucoside and trimethylcolchicine acid had no effect on either model of inflammation. The ability or inability of these

The deposition of immune complexes induces an acute inflammatory response with tissue injury. Immune complex-induced tissue injury is mediated by inflammatory cell infiltration that is highly regulated by multiple chemokines. To assess the role of the chemokine receptors CCR1 and CCR5, and a ligand

Antimuscarinic effects of ipratropium bromide and atropine are associated with prevention of the development of Arthus reaction, while the cytostatic effects of cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin lead to involution of the thymus and spleen, suppression of antibody production, and aggravation of

The Arthus reaction is a rare adverse reaction that usually occurs after vaccination with large and more severe local reactions, belonging to type Ⅲ hypersensitivity reaction. This reaction is characterized by pain, swelling, induration (Tissue that becomes firm) and edema, even accompanied by

The reverse passive Arthus reaction in rat skin was quantitated by using increase in wet weight as a measure of edema and extractable myeloperoxidase as a measure of the intensity of polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) infiltration. Treatment of the animal with dexamethasone prior to challenge with

P-selectin is rapidly translocated to the surface of endothelial cells and platelets following exposure to chemical mediators such as histamine, thrombin and complement factors. The Arthus reaction is caused by vascular injury which is initiated by the local deposition of the immune complex followed

We recently demonstrated that gene-targeted disruption of the C5a anaphylatoxin receptor prevented lung injury in immune complex-mediated inflammation. In this study, we compare the effect of C5aR deficiency in immune complex-induced inflammation in the peritoneal cavity and skin with the results

The anti-inflammatory effect of lanoconazole (LCZ) was investigated in vivo and in vitro. The effect of LCZ was evaluated on the inflammatory reactions elicited by intradermal injection of ovalbumin to ovalbumin-immunized rabbits, as an Arthus phenomenon. A one or two % cream preparation of LCZ was

We induced reverse passive Arthus (RPA) reactions in the skin of rodents and found that the contribution of complement to immune complex-mediated inflammation is species specific. Complement was found to be necessary in rats and guinea pigs but not in C57BL/6J mice. In rats, within 4 h after
