Quantitative estimation of increased vascular permeability in acute inflammatory reaction in the chicken skin

Abstract: An increase in vascular permeability was estimated quantitatively in acute inflammatory reaction in the chicken using passive cutaneous anaphylaxis as an experimental model. Dye exuded in the cutaneous lesion was extracted by formamide and measured spectrophotometrically. The technique, though time-consuming, worked well in the chicken. The results suggested that the method can be profitably utilised in studies relating to avian inflammation.

“…For this, the animal is passively sensitised by an intradermal injection of antibody, and after a suitable interval, termed the latent period, it is challenged by an intravenous injection of antigen. In the chicken, studies on PCA revealed an intense 'blueing' indicative of an increase in vascular permeability (Chand et al, 1976;Burns and Maxwell, 1981;Pillai et al, 1987a); and also marked emigration of heterophils, monocytes and basophils (Chand et al, 1976). The chicken mesentery is particularly rich in mast cells.…”

“…This was based on the size of the blue area and the intensity of its colour on both the upper and the undersurface of the lesion (Pillai et al, 1988b). The values were scored on an arbitrary scale ofO, ±, +, ++, + + + and + + + +.…”

“…Evans blue exuded in the cutaneous lesions was determined quantitatively, using the technique described by Pillai et al (1988) and Katiyar et al (1992a) for the chicken skin. Briefly, each lesion was excised with sufficient surrounding tissue, weighed, chopped into fine fragments and placed in 3 ml formamide for 48 h at 37°C for extraction of the dye.…”
