PG - 23-35 AB - The mouse sensitized by subcutaneous (sc) injection of lysozyme in emulsion of Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA) was shown by a modified footpad test to develop three kinds of hypersensitivities. Injecting lysozyme in 2.5-mul emulsion of Freund's incomplete adjuvant (FIA) into the footpad elicited strong footpad swelling in 30 min (anaphylactic reaction), in 3 hr (Arthus-type reaction) and in 24 hr (delayed-type hypersensitivity; DTH). The mice showing anaphylactic reaction in the footpad test manifested severe active systemic anaphylaxis, and the sera of these animals showed high IgG1 antibody titers with only sparingly detectable or no IgE antibody titers. In the sensitizing system with the use of FCA, the antigenicity of S-carboxymethylated lysozyme (CM-lysozyme) devoid of the three-dimensional conformation of lysozyme was compared with that of the native molecule. CM-lysozyme and lysozyme completely cross-reacted to each other in DTH, but not at all in the anaphylactic or Arthus-type reaction or in IgG1 antibody production. CM-lysozyme was shown also to have the ability to bestow immunological memory for the induction of humoral immunity against lysozyme; intravenous (iv) injection of lysozyme in saline or sc injection of CM-lysozyme-FCA alone failed to induce immediate hypersensitivities and IgG1 antibody production against lysozyme, but pre-sensitization by sc injection of CM-lysozyme-FCA enabled the animal to induce these responses to significant levels when iv injection of lysozyme in saline was given as a booster.
