Objectives : We studied the effects of Scutellariae Radix pharmacopuncture solution (SRHAS) on the type 1 hypersensitivity. Methods : In vivo, we measured compound 48/80-induced active systemic anaphylactic shock using ICR mice and anti-DNP IgE-induced passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) using Sprague Dawley rats. In vitro, we showed effects on cytotoxicity and ${\beta}-hexosaminidase$ release from RBL-2H3 cells. Results : In vivo, SRHAS pretreatments (100% or 50%) at BL13 inhibited active systemic anaphylactic shock induced by compound 48/80. PCA was only inhibited by pretreatments of SRHAS at optional points. In vitro, $0.1{\sim}2%$ SRHAS treatments did not affect cell viability while ${\beta}$-hexosaminidase release was significantly inhibited. Conclusions : These results suggest that SRHAS may be beneficial in the inhibition of type I hypersensitive inflammatory response.

The antigenicity of intralipidos was investigated in guinea pig, mice and rats. Antigenicity tests-active systemic anaphylaxis (ASA), passive systemic anaphylaxis (PSA), passive cutaneous anaphylaxix (PCA) of this materials were performed. The results were followed: 1. After sensitizaion with YPL, YPL+intralipidos, and intralipidos, emulsified with complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA), guinea pigs didn's show any anaphylatic shock symptom in the ASA test, 2. These materials didn't show any anaphylatic shock symptom in the PSA test, 3. After sensitization with antisera of YPL, YPL+intralipidos, and intralipidos sensitized mice, blue spots were not observed on the hypodermis of back of rats in the PCA test. From the results of this investigation, the antigenicity of YPL, intralipidos was negative under the present experimental condition.

마우스에서 가시오가피 열수추출물(GF-2)의 투여는 compound 48/80에 의하여 유도되는 전신성 anaphylactic shock 및 혈중 histamine과 호산구의 생산을 GF-2 농도 의존적으로 억제하였을 뿐 아니라, 마우스 복강세포에서 LPS에 의하여 유도되는 $TNF-{\alpha}$의 생산을 유의적으로 감소시켰다. 또한, 마우스에 항원으로서 ovalbumin(OVA)와 adjuvant로서 aluminium hydroxide를 사용하여 면역 후, OVA에 대한 IgG1 및 IgE 항체의 역가를 조사한 결과, GF-2의 투여는 이들 항체의 생산을 억제하였다. 이 결과는 GF-2를 항원 특이적 혹은 비특이적인 알러지 반응에 응용할 수 있는 소재로 개발 가능성 있음을 제시하였다.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of supercritical fluid extract of Kamichungbieum (SFE) on allergic reaction. SFE (500 mg/kg) inhibited the systemic anaphylaxis induced by compound 48/80 or platelet activating factor and inhibited the passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) induced by anti-dinitrophenyl (DNP)-lgE and DNP-human serum albumin (HSA) in vivo. Also, SFE inhibited the SRSC-induced delayed type hypersensitivity and inhibited the hind paw edema induced by histamine. In addition, SFE inhibited the permeability of evans blue induced by acetic acid and inhibited the writhing syndrome induced by acetic acid. These results indicate that SFE may be useful for the prevention and treatment of allergy related disease.

Antigenic potential of a recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) produced by Dong-A charm. Co. Ltd. was examined by active systemic anaphylaxis (ASA) test in guinea pigs, mouse-rat passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) reaction and passive hemagglutination (PHA) test. In ASA test, rhEPO induced the signs of restlessness, rubbing or licking nose, sneezing and coughing in the animals immunized with rhEPO 1000 lU/kg alone or rhEPO 1000 lU/kg incorporated into Freund\\\\`s complete adjuvant. In the mouse-rat PCA test, only one of six sera from the animals immunized with rhEPO 1000 lUng incorporated into Alum showed positive result. In the PHA test, rhEPO revealed negative results in all of the rhEPO-immunized groups. From these results, rhEPO was considered to produce IgE in guinea pigs and mice, but not IgG and/or IsM in mice. The results of this study were similar to those of the other recombinant human erythropoietin and these positive results were thought to be caused due to the fact that rhEPO were heterogeneous proteins to guinea pigs and mice. Considering the fact that rhErO has an identical structure with indigenous human erythropoietin, rhEPO is not thought to cause immunological problems in clinical use.

HM10411 is a recombinant granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (rG-CSF) that has been developing as a drug for neutropenia. In this study, antigenic potential of HM10411 was examined by active systemic anaphylaxis (ASA) in guinea pigs and passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) in guinea pig-guinea pig system. HM10411 was subcutaneously administered at 0,5, and 50 mg/kg and also as a suspension with adjuvant (50 mg/kg+FCA). Ovalbumin (OVA) as a suspension with adjuvant was used to induce positive control responses. In the ASA test, no symptoms except urination and evacuation that were considered as physiological phenomena were observed at 0 and 5 mg/kg. Two of 5 animals at 50 mg/kg showed sneering, dyspnea, or cyanosis. All animals in the adjuvant mixture group showed severe symptoms of anaphylatic shock and 3 of them died. In the PCA test, no antibody against HM 10411 was detected in the sera from the animals sensitized with 0 or 5 mg/kg. Only 1 serum sample from the animals immunized with 50 mg/kg showed positive reaction against HM10411, while all 5 sera collected from the HM10411 and FCA mixture group contained the HM10411-specific antibodies. These results suggest HM10411 is considered to have antigenicity In guinea pig.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of Kamihyungbangjihwang-tang (KHT) on immediate-type allergic reaction. KHT was composed of hyungbangjihwangtang (HJT) and Rubus coreanus Miquel (RC) and Aspalathus linear is (AL). KHT and HJT (500 mg/kg) inhibited the systemic anaphylaxis induced by compound 48/80 and inhibited the passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) induced by anti-dinitrophenyl (DNP)-IgE and DNP-human serum albumin (HSA) in vivo. In addition, KHT, HJT, RC and AL inhibited the release of histamine and increased the release of cAMP from rat peritoneal mast cells. The anti-allergic action of KHT was more potent than those of HJT. These results indicate that KHT may be useful for the prevention and treatment of type I allergy related disease via inhibition of histamine release from mast cells.

The antigenic potential of M3S tumor necrosis factor-$\alpha$(M3S TNF), which is a mutated form of TNF(TNF mutein) designed to reduce adverse effects of wild type human TNF, was investigated in the present study. The antigenicity of M3S TNF was examined by conducting active systemic anaphylaxis (ASA) test in guinea pigs, heterologous(mouse-rat) passive cutaneous anaphylaxis(PCA) test and passive hemagglutination(PHA) test. The experimental animals were divided into low, medium, high and the highest dose groups and the groups with or without immunoadjuvant, sensitized according to the appropriate schedule and challenged. In ASA test, when challenged with 120 $\mu\textrm{g}$ /animal, moderate to severe positive anaphylactic responses were observed in groups sensitized with 12 $\mu\textrm{g}$ /animal, 120 $\mu\textrm{g}$ /animal and 120 $\mu\textrm{g}$ /animal+Freund's complete adjuvant. In PCA test, positive responses were observed in the group sensitized with the highest dose emulsified with an alum(12 $\mu\textrm{g}$ /animal+alum). In PHA test, positive responses were observed in the group sensitized with 3 $\mu\textrm{g}$ /animal emulsified with an alum. All the other groups in each experiment showed negative responses. Based on these results, M3S TNF is considered to have some antigenic potential.

Antigenicity of recombinant human interferon $\beta$(LB00013), a newly developed drug for anti-cancer and anti-viral therapeutic use, was investigated in mice and guinea pigs. The following results were obtained: 1. Mice showed no production of antibodies against LB00013 sensitized with aluminum hydroxide gel (Alum) as an adjuvant, when judged by the heterologous passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) test in rats. Meanwhile, antibodies against ovalbumin (OVA) sensitized with Alum were clearly detected. 2. In guinea pigs, the sensitization of neither LB00013 only nor LB00013 with complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) produced positive reactions in the homologous active systemic anaphylaxis (ASA) and the PCA tests. Meanwhile, the sensitization of OVA with CFA produced positive reactions in both PCA and ASA. 3. A LB00013-specific reaction was not observed in an indirect hemagglutination(IHA) assay using sera isolated from LB00013 sensitized mice. The present results suggested that LB00013 may have no antigenic potential in mice and guinea pigs.
