Abstract
A model of reverse passive Arthus (RPA) reaction in the pleural cavity of rats is described. The time course of development of exudate and migration of cells has been examined. It has been found to be complement dependent and dominated by polymorphonuclear cells. The reaction reaches a peak around 6 hours after challenge. Cyclic AMP levels have been measured both intracellularly and extracellularly and have been found to persist at high levels after the waning of the reaction.Keywords
