Reactions of anti-bee venom mouse reagins and other antibodies with related antigens.
Reaginic type antibodies, as well as gamma G1 and hemagglutinating antibodies were raised in mice following bee venom immunization. The optimal immunizing dose was 1 mug bee venom in 1 mg A1(OH)3 gel. All antibodies were specific for bee venom and failed to react to yellow jacket and hornet venoms or to bee, wasp, yellow jacket and hornet whole body extracts.
