 Rats are sensitized by ovalbumin and bordetella
pertusis
 After 11 days they are challenged by i.v. ovalbumin
leading to shock
 It is counteracted by corticosteroids and i.v. disodium
cromoglycate
9
Methodology:
Female sprague dawley rats (120-150g)
Injected i.m with 10mg/kg of ovalbumin
simultaneously
With bordetella pertusis suspension i.p
IgE Ab migrates to surface of mast cells & basophilic
granulocytes 11days
10
Iv injection of 25mg/kg ovalbumin
18 hrs before given with corticosteroids and
disodium cromoglycate
Ag-Ab complex forms on the surfaceof mast cell
release histamine, 5-HT, etc

3.Passive cutaneous anaphylaxis in rats
it is Ag-Ab reaction: immediate type
skin is passively immunized with rat ovalbumin serum &
challenged after 2 days with ovalbumin at same site.
Ag-Ab complex in mast cell release
histamine and other mediators
17
 Cause vasodilation ,increased vascular permeability,
leakage of plasma.
 To make the allergic reaction clear, inject Evans blue
dye with the Ag with get attached to the albumin
fraction of the plasma.
 Ag –Ab reaction spot appears as blue spot, so can
confirm the occurrence of allergy
18
methodology:
male wistar rats (250g)
they are adrenalectomized
3 days
Egg albumin 1mg/ml injected on foot pad
8days
Animals are bled and antiserum is collected
Diluted such a way that it should produce a wheal of
15-20mm diameter on rat skin in preliminary test
19
 It is injected intradermaly shaved dorsal skin of rts
100g.
24 hrs
0.1ml 2.5% Evans blue dye containing 25mg/ml egg
albumin
Test drug introduced
IV: simultan.with Ag- 1 hr before challenging
Dye soln.
20
 30 min sacrificed using ether anaesthesia.
 At Passive cutaneous anaphylactic reaction site Evans
blue is leaked
 Extracted and determined colorimetrically 620nm
Amount of Evans blue leaked for control gp taken as 100%,
and calculating the % inhibition in the extravasation of
dye in the rats in treated animals. Compared with std &
control gps
21
3.Arthus type immediate hypersensitivity reaction
There is an Ag-Ab complex after the injection of
antigen. But if the person or the animal is previously
immunized with the antibody( i.e, it have circulating
Ab) there is precipitation of allergic reaction.
It is due to the activation of complement and PMN
cell get activate and leads to inflammation
22
Methodology:
 in this animals are challenged with ovalbumin
suspension(in paraffin oil)+pertusis vaccine in saline
soln. mixed together to get emulsion.
 Wistar rats of 250-300g are selected
 Injected with emulsion
 After 7 days a gp of 8 animals (s,t c) are housed in a
cage with diet and optional water till 1 hr before the
arthus reaction
23
 Each gp then injected with purified ovalbumin in paw
 Swelling reaches max in few hrs
 Thickness measured with calipers or plethymometric
method
 % reduction inthickness of foot pad compared with
std and control gp

Inhibition of histamine release from mast cells.
Asthma hypersensitivity reactions
Mediators are released from mast cells (histamin)
Here; calcium ionophore induces mast cell to
release histamin
26
 Procedure:
wistar rat are decapitated and exsanguinated
50ml Hank’s balanced salt soln (HBSS) injected to
peritonial cavity
Abdominal wall opened and collected fluid containing
peritonial cell
centrifuge at 2000rpm
Resuspend in HBSS
1ml test drug added to mast cell suspension
incubate @ 37ºC
Cell made to 3ml with HBSS
27
Equal vol.of cacium ionophore ia added
Control soln
1. Spontaneous histamin release mast cells & soln used to
determine base line
2. Histamin release: mast cell+ calcium ionophpre
3. Test compound control: soln+ compound to test the
compound for native fluorescence
4. Solution control: only soln to determine the base line
incubate @ 37ºC
28
From the suspension: 1mi of top layer transferred to
a tube containing 300mg Nacl+1.25ml butanol
+
NaOH
mechanical shaking
1ml of the top layer pipetted to 5ml tube
containing n-heptane +0.12N HCL
mixed by inverting
Organic layer aq.layer
29
 To the two layer add 100µl 0.2% phthaldehyde
soln. + 100µl NaOH
2mnts
reaction is stopped by the addition of 50µl 3N Hcl
Total sample added to auto sample vial
Histamine concentration is determined by
fluorescence detector using excitation wave
length 350nm & emission wavelength 450nm
