Abstract
In vitro assays of release of histamine from peritoneal mast cells showed that Wistar rats produced anaphylactic antibody in response to a single immunization with an allogeneic sarcoma. The response occurs early after immunization, and no adjuvant is needed. The thermolability of the anaphylactic antibody suggests that it is IgE.
