Abstract
Development of eosinophilia was studied in four strains of guinea pigs (gp), selectively bred for either high or low respiratory anaphylactic reactivity. One high-asthma strain (IMM/S 209) and one low-asthma strain (IMM/R 203) developed spontaneous high blood eosinophilia. The 2 other gp strains - one high-asthma strain (IMM/S 740) and one low-asthma strain (IMM/R 201-16) - maintained normal low levels of eosinophilic granulocytes (eos). The levels of eos in various tissues showed similar differences between the gp strains. Following immunization with ovalbumin/Al(OH)3 the levels of blood eos increased significantly only in gp of strain 209. The blood eos levels in gp of all 4 strains decreased significantly following immunization with ovalbumin in Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA).Keywords
