Venoms from six species of ground dwelling yellow jackets of the genus Vespula were studied by direct and inhibition of RAST. Significant differences were found among the various species. Reactivity of patients showed significant correlation with insect distribution with the exception of some patients from the far west. The immunologic relationships observed among the venoms correlated well with the current phylogeny, which is based upon morphologic, behavioral and ecologic studies. The correlation with isoenzyme studies that have recently been reported was less complete. Individual patients exhibit highly significant differences in their reactivity to the various species, in many cases comparable to the differences seen in reactivity to yellow jackets and aerial hornets (Dolichovespula).
通过直接和抑制性RAST对六种黄胡蜂属地面栖息黄蜂的毒液进行了研究。发现不同物种之间存在显著差异。除了一些来自最西部的患者外，患者的反应性与昆虫分布显示出显著相关性。毒液之间观察到的免疫关系与基于形态学、行为学和生态学研究的当前系统发育关系密切相关。与最近报道的同工酶研究的相关性则不太完全。个体患者对不同物种的反应性表现出高度显著的差异，在许多情况下，类似于对黄胡蜂和空中马蜂（长黄胡蜂属）反应性的差异。
