ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK BY AZODYES

K Landsteiner 1, J van der Scheer 1
PMCID: PMC2132250  PMID: 19870151

Abstract

Experiments are described which show that anaphylactic shock can be induced in animals sensitized with azoproteins by injecting them with azodyes containing the same azo components as the sensitizing antigen. The anaphylactic reactions are specific and occur with quantities of the dyes as small as fractions of milligrams.
