    Notes: Background Exposure of atopic patients to a specific allergen evokes an immediate response which is followed, in many cases, by a late phase reaction (LPR) some hours later. Here we have examined the immunological mechanisms required for the expression of cutaneous LPR in mice.Methods BALB/c mice were immunized by i.p. injection of ovalbumin (OVA) and alum actively or by i.v. injection of anti-OVA IgE monoclonal antibody (mAb) passively. After challenge by intradermal injection of OVA into ears, the changes in ear thickness, the number of eosinophils, and the levels of IL4 and IFN-γ protein at the site of antigen challenge were examined.Results Actively immunized mice developed a biphasic response at the site of OVA injection, while mice passively immunized with IgE anti-OVA mAb displayed a strong early response but no LPR. Cell transfer experiments using BALB/c nu/nu mice revealed that both OVA-specific IgE mAb and OVA-primed CD4 T cells were required to evoke LPR. Moreover, LPR was associated with increased levels of IL-4 production concomitant with reduced IFN-γ production and was abolished by pretreatment with anti-IL-4 neutralizing mAb.Conclusion It is suggested that murine cutaneous LPR against OVA is a type 2 inflammatory response in which both IgH antibodies and CD4 T cells play an obligatory role.

    Notes: Abstract Background: Hepatitis B after the withdrawal of cytotoxicchemotherapy in hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers is well known and may leadto fatal hepatic failure. We retrospectively analyzed the prevalence of HBVcarriers, the incidence, and the risk factors of hepatitis B in the treatmentof malignant lymphoma. Patients and methods: HBV carriers were defined as patients withpositive HBs-antigen, either with normal or abnormal serum aminotransferaselevel at patient presentation. Questionnaires to the members of the JapanLymphoma Treatment Study Group included general information, details about HBVcarriers, and further information about hepatitis B. Results: Among 1380 patients collected from eight institutions, 45patients (3.26%) were determined to be HBV carriers. Hepatitis Bdeveloped in 17 of the HBV carrying patients (37.8%). Seven of those17 (41.2%) died of hepatic failure. Hepatitis developed at a high ratein patients who were negative for HBe-antigen (50%), and who hadreceived second- or third-generation chemotherapy (63.2%). Conclusion: We confirmed that hepatitis B developed with highfrequency in HBV carriers with malignant lymphoma. Moreover, hepatitis oftenresulted in fatal hepatic failure. It is necessary to prevent the hepatitisB developing in HBV carriers when receiving intensive chemotherapy formalignant lymphoma.
