  • Title: Experimental model of allergic conjunctivitis to ragweed in guinea pig.
    Author: Merayo-Lloves J, Calonge M, Foster CS.
    Journal: Curr Eye Res; 1995 Jun; 14(6):487-94. PubMed ID: 7671631.
    Abstract:
    An experimental model of ocular allergy was developed in the guinea pig by exposing these animals to ragweed through topical contact on nasal and conjunctival mucosae, followed by subsequent challenge with ragweed contact on the conjunctiva. Animals developed clinical and histological signs of allergy with and without the use of interleukin 4 as adjuvant. This model mimics human hay fever conjunctivitis more naturally than do animal models previously reported, and it may be subsequently more valuable in the study of the response of allergic conjunctivitis to different therapeutic approaches.
