Specific IgG antibodies in sera in patients with penicillin allergy / 中国药理学通报

ABSTRACT

Aim To elucidate the relationship between IgG antibodies and penicillin allergy.Methods Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to examine 8 kinds of specific IgG antibodies,including major antigenic determinantsbenzylpenicilloyl(BPO),ampicilloyl(APO),amoxicilloyl(AXO)and phenoxomethylpenicilloyl(PVO),and minor antigenic determinantsbenzyl-penicillanyl(BPA),amoxicillanyl(AXA),ampicillanyl(APA)and phenoxomethylpenicillany(PVA),in the sera of 241 patients with penicillin allergy.Results Except BPA-IgG,levels of 7 kinds of antigenic determinants IgG antibodies were significantly higher than those of control group(P
