Abstract
It remains unclear whether lipopolysaccharide (LPS) pre-treatment, which prevents Th2-type responses via Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), inhibits anaphylaxis. To determine the dose-dependent effects of LPS pre-treatment on anaphylactic decreases in rectal temperature caused by ovalbumin (OVA) re-exposure in immunized mice, C3H/HeN mice were divided into vehicle/OVA (0 mg/kg LPS), L-LPS/OVA (0.5 mg/kg LPS), M-LPS/OVA (1.0 mg/kg LPS) and H-LPS/OVA (3.0 mg/kg LPS) groups. After receiving these treatments, the mice were systemically immunized with OVA. Negative control mice were not immunized with OVA (N-OVA). After measuring the serum levels of OVA-specific IgE and IgG1 antibodies, the mice were examined for changes in their rectal temperature and plasma histamine concentration after OVA re-exposure. The allergen-specific IgE and IgG1 concentrations in sera from L-LPS/OVA, M-LPS/OVA and H-LPS/OVA mice were significantly lower than those in sera from vehicle/OVA mice despite OVA immunization. However, the antibody levels in all OVA-immunized mice, with the exception of the IgG1 levels in H-LPS/OVA mice, were significantly higher than those in N-OVA mice. Interestingly, H-LPS/OVA mice were the only group that did not exhibit a decrease...Continue Reading
