Histology of PCA Reactions in Guinea Pigs

A Comparison of Reactions Produced by Guinea Pig Gl and Rabbit Antibodies¹

Department of Pathology, New York University School of Medicine, New York

Abstract

PCA reactions were produced in guinea pigs with rabbit G- and guinea pig G1-antibodies. The histologic picture of PCA reactions with guinea pig G1 in guinea pigs is similar to the reaction produced with rabbit antibodies. PCA reactions with rabbit and guinea pig G1-antibodies were partially inhibited by an antihistamine (Neo-Antergan) to the same degree. Depletion of PMN did not diminish the PCA reactions with either antibody. It has been concluded that PMN infiltration is a consequence, and not the determining factor, of PCA reactions in guinea pigs.
