Differences in antigen uptake and clinical responses. After OVA gavage, higher OVA concentrations in serum (A) were found in allergic mice (group A). Mouse MCP-1 levels (B) were significantly elevated in group A after the first oral OVA challenge (OC 1). Rectal temperature (C) was measured before and 5 and 10 min after i.v. OVA provocation of antibody non-responders (triangle) and highly sensitized animals (circles). Data represent mean + SEM; *p < 0.05.
