Abstract: Allergic diseases of rats were induced by allergen extracted from Platanus acerifolia pollen. Firstly, rats were injected intraperitoneally and subcutaneously with the mixture of allergen and adjuvant. Subsequently, these rats were challenged with aerosolized allergen. After the last inspiration, rats were killed and their serums were separated. Specific IgE and IgG in serums were measured by ELISA or Western blotting. The results revealed the existence of specific IgE and IgG.

Key words: Platanus acerifolia pollen; SD rats; allergic response; IgE; IgG
