title: Preparation of antibodies to guinea pig IgE and its use for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay of IgE antibodies.
abstract: Guinea pigs were infected with Trichinella spiralis. A pooled serum from the infected guinea pigs was fractionated by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography and Sephadex G-200 gel filtration. An IgE-rich fraction was injected into rabbits. The antiserum from the rabbits, after appropriate absorption with a normal guinea pig plasma, formed a precipitin line in immunoelectrophoresis and in immunodiffusion against a guinea pig serum containing IgE antibodies to ovalbumin. Uptake of 125I ovalbumin was observed in radioimmunoelectrophoresis. This anti IgE could be used in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay of IgE antibodies to ovalbumin.
