title: Enzyme potentiated hyposensitization: IV. effect of protamine on the immunological behavior of beta glucuronidase in mice and patients with hay fever.
abstract: The ability of beta glucuronidase and a small dose of antigen to modify the anaphylactic reaction of previously sensitized mice has been further investigated. Protamine has an important effect on the immunological behavior of the enzyme. A trial on hay fever patients shows that the results in mice are relevant and that the method can produce significant clinical hyposensitization.
