Systemic anaphylaxis is an acute severe and potentially fatal allergic reaction Two classes of antibodies IgE and IgG contribute to the development of anaphylaxis in mice through different mechanisms with distinct usage of effector cells and chemical mediators Larger quantities of antibody and antigen are reportedly required to induce IgG-mediated anaphylaxis than IgE-mediated one suggesting that the former may not happen as frequently as the latter in real life To readdress this Issue we established in the present study a novel mouse model of passive IgG-mediated systemic anaphylaxis to a native protein antigen ovalbumin (OVA) rather than artificially haptenated protein antigens used in previous studies Passive sensitization of mice with a cocktail of but not individual IgG1 mAbs specific to distinct OVA epitopes elicited systemic anaphylaxis in response to OVA challenge Importantly much smaller doses of antibody and antigen than previously reported were sufficient for the induction of IgG-mediated systemic anaphylaxis Moreover a relatively small dose of antigen could induce severe anaphylaxis through both IgE- and IgG-mediated mechanisms when mice had been passively sensitized with antigen-specific IgE and IgG These results strongly suggest that IgG-mediated systemic anaphylaxis is not rare among antibody-mediated systemic anaphylaxis in contrast to previous thought and significantly contributes to active systemic anaphylaxis in real life at least in mice (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc All rights reserved
