Abstract
Passive cutaneous anaphylaxis tests and Prausnitz-Kustner tests were p erformed in healthy recipient cats with heated and unheated sera of 17 cats suspected of having allergic dermatitis and of 12 healthy contro l cats. Positive reactions occurred with heated and unheated sera. It was therefore hypothesized that a heat-stabile cytophilic antibody is involved in the pathogenesis of eosinophilic plaques and miliary derma titis in some cats.
