title: [Experimental study of the immune response to swine liver urate oxidase].
abstract: An immune response to urate oxidase--an enzyme from pig liver was studied. Peculiarities of antibody formation were investigated in three animal species. It was shown that the scheme for repeated injections of the enzyme preparation had a marked effect on the intensity of humoral immune response. In studying the process of the enzyme allergic properties it was found that urate oxidase had anaphylactogenic and skin sensitizing properties. The strength of anaphylactic reaction depened on the sensitizing dose of the antigen and correlated with the results of active skin anaphylaxis. However, there was no correlation between the strength of the immune response determined by means of the indirect hemagglutination test and the intensity of anaphylactic reaction.
