Suppressive Activity of Xerosin on Allergic and Other Inflammatory Reactions of the Skin in Guinea Pigs

[摘要] Parenteral injections of the microbial product, xerosin, in guinea pigs reduced markedly the tuberculin reaction and the inflammatory response to turpentine. The reversed passive Arthus reaction and the inflammatory response to urease were moderately reduced. Xerosin failed to affect the histamine wheal or the wheal and flare of passive cutaneous anaphylaxis. Diffusion of a macromolecular dye in the skin was greatly inhibited.
