Inhibition of anaphylactic reaction in guinea pigs by antibodies to fragments of Fc from autologous IgG.
The effect of antibodies to Fc subfragments of guinea pig IgG on the anaphylactic reaction in guinea pigs has been studied. Control animals were immunized with guinea pig IgG and Fab, human IgG and albumin. All animals with antibodies to fragments of autologous Fc survived challenge with horse serum, whereas the control animals died in anaphylactic shock.
