Título Allergic hypersensitivity to the herbicide 2,4-D in BALB/c mice
Información bibliográfica Oct.-Nov. 1982, Vol.10, Nos.4-5, p.729-741. Illus. 35 ref.
Resumen Following several reports of human allergic hypersensitivity, the ability of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) to elicit 2,4-D-specific IgE antibodies and delayed-type hypersensitivity in mice was studied. Following the second intraperitoneal immunisation with 1, 10 or 100µg of a 2,4-D conjugate, 2,4-D-specific IgE antibodies were detected in mouse sera. The highest antibody titers and a measurable response in all mice were seen in the group that received 1µg of 2,4-D conjugate. 2,4-D applied epicutaneously on 2 days or over 4 weeks failed to elicit delayed-type hypersensitivity, and no 2,4-D-specific IgE antibodies were detected in serum.
