title: Induction of hypersensitivity to carboxymethylcellulose in cattle.
abstract: Cattle were more readily sensitised than guinea pigs to carboxymethylcellulose. Freund's complete adjuvant enhanced, but was not essential for, sensitisation. Schultz-Dale responses were obtained from pulmonary tissues of sensitised cattle but their sera failed to induce passive cutaneous anaphylaxis. Cattle could possibly be sensitised by carboxymethylcellulose contained in drug formulations.
