Abstract excerpt
Genetic predisposition and environmental factors modulate the expression of allergic phenotypes. The frequent allergic phenotype 'immediate cutaneous hypersensitivity' was established in mice as a model for atopy. Genetic dissection of this trait requires a robust procedure to assess the allergic phenotype. To this end, different mouse strains were immunized with birch pollen extract. Immediate cutaneous...
