Passive Cellular Transfer of Hypersensitivity to Serum Antigens in Rabbits

Summary Passive cellular transfer of hypersensitivity to serum antigens from donors sensitized to the point of typical Arthus reactions has been demonstrated. The reactions in passively sensitive animals appeared about 5 hours after testing and increased to a maximum in 18 to 24 hours. Injection of cells into recipients by intravenous, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous or intracutaneous routes resulted in positive transfer. Successful transfer after...
