Ln. Schofield et al., A STAPHYLOCOCCUS-AUREUS ENTEROTOXIN-B INDUCED TYPE-1 IMMEDIATE HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTION IN A GOAT, Microbios, 89(358), 1997, pp. 29-30
A Nigerian dwarf goat intended for the production of antibodies to sta
phylococcal enterotoxin-B exhibited classical signs of a type 1 anaphy
lactic reaction 2 to 3 min after parenteral introduction of this antig
en. The exquisite sensitivity demonstrated in concert with the pathogn
omonic signs appeared to make the breed and species an excellent model
for the further study and interpretation of this syndrome in domestic
food animals.
