迟发型超敏反应(Delayed-type hypersensitivity, DTH)是具有相应抗原[1]的效应T细胞作用后,以单个核细胞浸润和组织细胞损伤为特征的炎症反应。它通常发生在细菌和病毒感染、肿瘤疾病、移植排斥和接触性皮炎期间。小鼠接触性超敏反应是一种广泛用于研究T细胞介导的接触性过敏原免疫反应的模型。恶唑酮(OXA)是一种半抗原,应用于皮肤时可与皮肤蛋白结合形成完整抗原,刺激T淋巴细胞增殖为致敏淋巴细胞[2]。4 ~ 7天后再次使用奥沙利铂,局部可出现迟发性过敏反应。钥孔血蓝蛋白(KLH)是一种高免疫原性蛋白大分子,可使树突状细胞识别Th1细胞[3],是诱发迟发性超敏反应的理想抗原。KLH被系统性地引入小鼠体内。几周后再次局部注射,通过注射部位相对肿胀度评估迟发性超敏反应。Biocytogen建立OXA和KLH诱导的迟发性超敏反应(DTH)小鼠(Balb/c)模型,可用于免疫抑制剂疗效评价。
