A New Model of Experimental Allergic Rhinitis Using Japanese Cedar Pollen in Guinea Pigs

Abstract: ABSTRACT-In the majority of the models of experimental allergic rhinitis, antigen challenge has been performed by single topical instillation or perfusion with the solution. The present study was performed to establish a good model using Japanese cedar pollen, which is able to repeatedly induce allergy restricted to the upper airway. Guinea pigs sensitized with the pollen extracts were subjected to quantitative and repeated inhaling of the pollen with a devised apparatus. Following the respective challenges, t… Show more

“…Consequently, Cry j 1-specific IgE antibody level was increased during the repeated pollen challenges (Fig. 1, lower left panel) (Nabe, 1997a(Nabe, , 2005. In addition, after respective pollen challenges, sneezing was induced within 1 h after a challenge (Nabe, 1998).…”

“…We have established an experimental allergic rhinitis model in sensitized guinea pigs, using Japanese cedar pollen as the antigen (Nabe, 1997a(Nabe, , 1998). This experimental model has been used to assess whether short and long-term daily treatment with pyrenes, BaP and 1-NP aggravate antigen-induced sneezing and nasal blockage (Mizutani, 2007).…”

“…To prevent rapid elimination of the antigen by ciliary movement, the upper airway mucosal surface was anesthetized before each sensitization by administering a 5-min inhalation of a mist of 4% lidocaine hydrochloride solution that was generated by an ultrasonic nebulizer (NE-U12; Omron, Osaka). The sensitized animals were then intranasally challenged by inhalation of cedar pollen once a week for 26 weeks by using a handmade inhalation apparatus (15).…”

“…Following intranasal active sensitization by instillation with pollen extracts and aluminum hydroxide adjuvant, levels of antigen-specific anaphylactic antibodies in the serum increase, and frequent sneezes and biphasic nasal blockage develop in proportion to the number of pollen inhalation challenges (6,7). Furthermore, the nasal blockage response of sensitized animals to intranasal instillation of not only histamine (8) but also leukotriene (LT) D4 (9) appears to be enhanced in proportion to the number of challenges.…”
