title: Antiallergic effect of apple polyphenols on the allergic model mouse.
abstract: We studied here the antiallergic effect of apple condensed tannins (ACT) administered orally to a type I allergy model mouse transplanted with an IgEL a2 hybridoma secreting anti-2,4,6-trinitrophenyl (TNP) immunoglobulin E (IgE). The oral administration of ACT significantly inhibited the ear swelling responses at 1 h after antigen-stimulation with picryl chloride. The response was dose dependent within 0.1 to 10 mg/mouse. The inhibition of the ear swelling response reached the maximal level (90% inhibition) when ACT was administered 2 h before the antigen challenge. These findings suggest that ACT has an antiallergic effect on type I allergic symptoms.
