Divalent hapten-induced intestinal anaphylaxis in the mouse enhances macromolecular uptake from the stomach.

Abstract
The capacity of the stomach to participate in anaphylaxis induced by the hapten N,N'-di-2,4,dinitrophenyllysine (di-DNP-lysine) was examined in BDF1 female mice immunized with dinitrophenylated Ascaris suum extract. Immunized animals underwent laparotomy and nontraumatic pyloric occlusion using a microvascular clamp. Following wound closure, animals were gavage-fed ovalbumin together with di-DNP-lysine. Other mice were subjected to systemic anaphylaxis by intravenous injection of di-DNP-lysine administered 1 min after gavage feeding of ovalbumin. The intravenous and intragastric administration of di-DNP-lysine led to a sixfold or greater increase in serum immunoreactive ovalbumin. Examination of 1-micron sections of gastric tissue from DNP-Asc-immunized and unimmunized mice showed an intact mucosal and submucosal architecture. A 75% increase in the number of mast cells below the muscularis mucosa was seen in immunized compared with unimmunized BDF1 mice. Gastric tissue sections from immunized mice challenged orally or intravenously with di-DNP-lysine showed compaction of erythrocytes in blood vessels, degranulation of mast cells, degenerative changes in the gastric epithelium, expulsion of mucus from gastric glands, and edema in the lamina propria. The present model may be useful for further defining the consequences of anaphylaxis on the development of immune responses to dietary antigens.
