immune system
• following passive systemic anaphylaxis induced by IgE antigen challenge, mice fail to exhibit increased plasma histamine levels or temporary decrease in rectal temperature unlike wild-type mice
• after receiving i.p. injections of K/BxN mouse serum in an antibody-induced (autoimmune) arthritis model, mice are protected from arthritis, except for mild and transient symptoms
