  • Title: Reaginic antibodies in dogs infected with Echinococcus granulosus.
    Author: Williams JF, Pérez Esandi MV.
    Journal: Immunology; 1971 Apr; 20(4):451-5. PubMed ID: 4994864.
    Abstract:
    Serum samples from twenty dogs infected with Echinococcus granulosus were tested for the presence of homocytotropic skin-sensitizing antibodies. Five of the twenty sera were positive in this test, while none of the sera from twenty normal dogs was positive. The antibody was thermolabile and susceptible to 2-mercaptoethanol reduction. Reaginic antibodies to cestode antigens have not been described previously in dogs, though they are frequently associated with helminth infection in other animals and may play a role in acquired resistance.
