title: Delayed-type hypersensitivity as revealed on the footpads of mice to azobenzenearsonate-acetyl bovine serum albumin.
abstract: A strong delayed-type footpad reaction was established in mice using azobenzenearsonate-acetyl bovine serum albumin (ABA-AcBSA) as an antigen. Male ddY/S mice were sensitized by subcutaneous injection of 100 microliter of Freund's complete adjuvant - saline (1:1) emulsion containing 100 microgram of the antigen and challenged by subcutaneous injection of 2.5 microliter of Freund's incomplete adjuvant - saline (1:1) emulsion with 2.5 microgram antigen in the footpad on the 10th day after the sensitization. The analysis of the system which fulfilled criteria for delayed-type hypersensitivity with regard to kinetics, passive transfer and histology of the footpad reaction, and the effect of dexamethasone, indomethacin and quinacrine on the footpad reaction were described.
