Pulmonary function changes in normal rats induced by antibody against rat IgE.

PMCID: PMC1537764  PMID: 114348

Abstract

Changes in pulmonary function, as measured by airway conductance and dynamic compliance, in normal rats have been provoked by the administration of a rabbit antisera prepared against rat IgE myeloma protein. The response is specific in that neither anti-IgG nor normal rabbit serum induced pulmonary changes. Pre-treatment with disodium cromoglycate inhibits the bronchospasm in a dose related manner. In addition, drug protection can be demonstrated with as long 1 hr pre-dosing.
