PG - 899-905 AB - A naturally occurring model of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody-mediated hypersensitivity in canine and rhesus monkey species to environmental allergens is described. Cutaneous responses to a dust mite mix (Dermatophagoides farinae/pteronyssinus) and to four storage mite extracts (Aleuroglyphus ovatus, Blomia tropicalis, Chortoglyphus sp., Lepidoglyphus destructor) occurred in the canine species. Rhesus monkeys had IgE antibody-mediated hypersensitivity to dust mite on cutaneous challenge, but to a lesser degree than the canine species. Biologic relevance was verified by eliciting positive airway challenges in both species. The IgE antibody-mediated basis of these responses was confirmed by passive transfer technique. Demonstration of dust mite allergy provides a naturally occurring model of IgE antibody-mediated hypersensitivity in the canine and rhesus monkey species. Storage mite IgE antibody-mediated hypersensitivity exists in the canine species.
