Induction of a delayed type hypersensitivity to carrageenin in mice was investigated with successful results. Male ddY/s mice were immunized with 1 mg of carrageenin in 100μl of Freund's complete adjuvant-saline (1 : 1) emulsion and challenged 10d after the immunization on their footpads with either 10 or 40μg of the antigen in 2.5μl of Freund's incomplete adjuvant-saline (1 : 1) emulsion. The mice exhibited a strong allergic footpad reaction at 24-48h after the challenge injection. The footpad reaction was successfully transferred with spleen cells. Non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug, indomethacin, and steroidal antiinflammatory drug, dexamethasone, suppressed the delayed type hypersensitivity reaction.
