Studies on the etiologic mechanism of anisakiasis

Abstract: In an attempt to determine the etiological mechanism of anisakiasis, immunological studies were performed using guinea pigs and rabbits. In order to carry out these examinations, we used a specific antigen, hemoglobin of Anisakis larva. We demonstrate that the etiological mechanism of anisakiasis involves anaphylactic reaction as well as Arthus reaction in the digestive tract. Cell-mediated immune reaction also have to consider the relation of establishment of allergic condition in experimental anisakiasis. Th… Show more

“…Immunodiagnostic Assays Various immunologic assays have been used to diagnose anisakiasis, including the intradermal skin test (3,48), complement fixation test (48), immunofluorescent-antibody test (48,59,63,64), immunodiffusion test (34,42), immunoelectrophoretic assays (19,34), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (59), and radio-allergosorbent test (RAST) (12,19,59). There is no routine clinical laboratory testing for anisakiasis, and practical applications using any one of these assays are of limited value, because sera from known anisakiasis patients cross-react with antigens from closely related nematode species (e.g., Ascaris and Toxocara species) or because normal human sera give false-positive results with Anisakis antigens.…”
