TI  - Immunoglobulin e-mediated severe allergy to human seminal plasma.
PG  - 832-5
AB  - Two women with allergy to human seminal plasma are described. Both patients had 
      generalized and local allergic symptoms, i.e., hypotension, asthmatic dyspnea, 
      urticaria, and vaginal swelling, beginning within a few minutes of intercourse. 
      The antigen causing the reaction in these patients was common to all seminal 
      plasmas examined. Most of the antigenic activity was shown to be present in one 
      protein band detected by acrylamide gel electrophoresis. The seminal plasma 
      reaction was mediated through an immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody. Passive 
      transfer of the hypersensitivity with the serum of both patients was successful, 
      and the radioallergosorbent test showed that the serum of the first patient 
      contained IgE specific to seminal plasma.
