Abstract:
:The IgE immune response was studied in female athymic, nude (Lewis rnu/rnu) and euthymic (Lewis +/+) rats infected with the nematode Nippostrongylus brasiliensis. During the course of the infection, serum IgE levels were followed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique (ELISA), while the surface expression and occupancy of IgE receptors on peritoneal mast cells were quantified using flow cytometry after immunolabelling with anti-IgE. The results show that the up-regulation of IgE receptors, which takes place on the mast cells of both athymic and normal rats during the early phase of the immune response, is more pronounced and longer-lasting in normal rats than in athymic ones, thereby suggesting that T cells are necessary for a full response to the parasite infection. The increased IgE occupancy observed on the mast cells during the early phase of the parasite immune response was not reflected in the serum IgE levels, which remained low during the entire infection period in athymic rats. In euthymic rats, on the other hand, there was a pronounced increase in serum IgE, as well as an increase in IgE occupancy on the mast cells, all reaching a peak level after 2 weeks of infection. However, there was no significant correlation between the serum IgE concentration and IgE occupancy or the density of IgE receptors on the mast cells of the individual euthymic rats. This indicates that the quantification of IgE occupancy on the mast cells may be a better way of detecting low-level IgE responses than the measurement of serum IgE. These findings, which were obtained in female Lewis rats, when compared with our previous findings in male rats of the same strain, suggest that sex differences may exist in terms of the intensity and duration of the IgE immune response to the parasite infection.
