Compound 48/80, a Mast Cell Stimulator, Enhances Synthesis of IgE and IgG Induced by Intranasal Application of Ovalbumin in Mice

Abstract: Mast cells are well established effector cells of type I hypersensitivity reactions such as allergic rhinitis. However, recent studies have suggested that activated mast cells enhance local immunoglobulin E (IgE) synthesis in the nasal mucosa of allergic rhinitis patients. Therefore, we hypothesized that non-immunological mast cell activators may have the potential to enhance local IgE synthesis. Here, we examined the effect of compound 48/80 (C48/80), a mast cell activator, on IgE and immunoglobulin G (IgG) s… Show more

“…As a mixed polymer of p -methoxy- N -methyl phenylethylamine, the C48/80 compound is widely used to stimulate the release of histamine and TNF-α ( Matsui et al ., 2015 ). Ovalbumin and soy protein are also reported to induce an allergic reaction ( Cordle, 2004 ; Zhang et al ., 2015 ).…”

“…In addition, the incorporation of c48/80 into chitosan nanoparticles as a delivery system has been demonstrated to further enhance mucosal immunity [133,135,137]. C48/80 can also efficiently enhance the synthesis of IgE and IgG upon the intranasal application of ovalbumin [138]. In contrast, c48/80 displayed no adjuvant activity for immunization with UV-attenuated Toxoplasma gondii [139].…”

“…Most often, these studies use cholera toxin (CT) as a control since both the B and A1 subunits are commonly used and effective adjuvants in laboratory experiments [115,116]. One of the most widely used mast cell activators, c48/80, improved generation of neutralizing antibodies over antigen alone and to a comparable level as CT [96,98,99,[101][102][103][104][105]. Antigens included bacterial toxins, bacterial vaccine strains and viral surface antigens.…”

“…The potential safety of these adjuvants has been discussed, since they could potentially cause anaphylaxis [27]. With the exception of one study [103], most studies find little if any production of IgE when using mast cell activators as adjuvants [96,98,114]. Yoshino et al also report no adverse effects on the olfactory bulb or kidney when using polymyxins as adjuvants [113].…”
