Studies on the Effect of Complement on Anaphylaxis in the Mouse

From the Centre de Recherches Allergiques et Immunologiques, Association Claude Bernard, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique and Institut National d'Hygiène, Paris, France

Abstract

The reduction of hemolytic complement to 10% or less by human -globulin aggregates and antigen-antibody complexes in mice has no effect on passive cutaneous anaphylaxis induced by homologous antibody.

In general anaphylaxis in mice treated with Hemophilus pertussis the decomplementation by human -globulin aggregates has no effect, whereas the antigen-antibody decomplementation produces a significant protection which is probably due to a shocking effect from this treatment.
