Anaphylactic reactions of mice sensitized percutaneously with 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB) were investigated by the AW method assay, which is a mouse anaphylatic model using the abdominal wall as the site for induction with either 2,4-dinitrophenyl (DNP)-human serum albumin or anti-mouse IgE antibody and then estimation of the response. DNP-specific and IgE-dependent anaphylatic reaction after contact sensitization with DNFB could be induced and detected by the abdominal wall (AW) method assay in both groups with and without previous ear challenge with DNFB. Thus, the anaphylatic reaction in the group of twice-contact with 0.5% DNFB was observed on the 9th day from the sensitization (5th day from the ear challenge), and the reaction in the group of a single contact with 0.5% DNFB was observed 10 d after sensitization. The DNP-specific anaphylactic reaction was observed earlier than the 10th day with higher doses of DNFB.As for the mice of the former twice-contact group, the first and second characteristic ear swelling resonses appeared within 1-6 h and 2 d of the ear challenge, respectively, and small swelling was observed 7 d after the challenge.It is suggested that Th1 and Th2 cells are activated at the almost same time, in other words, the preparation for both cell-mediated and humoral immunity could be accomplished to function, in vivo by a single percutaneous sensitization with DNFB.
