Research Abstract

Drug allergy was examined on the supersensitive detection method for the determinant of drug antigen and drag-lymphocyte blastogenesis test. In ELISA, the antibody detection was carried out using 3 kinds of cefaclor/OVA complex of which the cross-link position differed. First, the side-chain(R 1) of cefaclor was recognized by anti-cefaclor IgG antibodies obtained from cefaclor-allergy patient. In contrast, the IgM antibody reacted at 7-aminocephalosporanic acid (7-AMA) of cefaclor. Competitive ELISA shown that anti-cefaclor side-chain antibodies were competitive inhibitied by ampicillin, becampicillin, cefaclor and cephalexin, which were composed from α-phenylglycine side-chain. Anti-cefaclor IgG antibodies reacted to the α-phenylglycine (R1) side- chain in a dose response, but not p-amino phenyl acetic acid and 7-AMA. Furthermore, BIAcore analysis indicated that the affinity of anti-cefaclor antibody was Ka=2. 19 x 10-3M-1and Kd=2.56 x 10-4 M-l , which were almost equal to other the immune antibody. On the other hand, DLST was positive in 3 out of 25 patients, and false positives were 3 patients. In contrast, IL-2 was detected from 4 to 8 hrs after the stimulation by drugs. Moreover,IL-2 mRNA was detected in all patients with the IL-2 production.
These results suggested that the detection method of IL-2 protein and mRNA are more super-sensitive than the DLST, and this method is effective diagnosed test for drug-allergy.
