Preparations of chopped human and monkey lung were used to estimate the reaginic activity of serum from allergic patients. The lung preparation was passively sensitized by incubation with serum taken from the patients, and then challenged with the antigen responsible for the allergy. Measurement of the histamine released from the lung gave a quantitative assessment of the level of reaginic activity in the patient's serum.Tests were done on patients allergic to four natural antigens, including grass pollen, and to penicillin. Human lung proved more sensitive and possibly more specific than monkey lung in testing for natural allergies. The results of testing for penicillin allergies were less satisfactory, possibly because of the difficulty of reconstructing the appropriate antigen.
使用切碎的人肺和猴肺制剂来评估过敏患者血清中的反应素活性。通过与患者血清孵育使肺制剂被动致敏,然后用引起过敏的抗原进行激发。测量从肺中释放的组胺可对患者血清中反应素活性水平进行定量评估。对四种天然抗原(包括草花粉)过敏以及对青霉素过敏的患者进行了测试。在检测天然过敏方面,人肺比猴肺更敏感,可能也更具特异性。青霉素过敏测试的结果不太令人满意,可能是因为难以重建合适的抗原。
