Abstract
Gel-filtration on Sephadex, of Ascaris, Nippostrongylus, Toxocara and Toxascaris antigens revealed that the allergenic components had a molecular weight range of 10,000-50,000. Allergenicity was assessed by homologous passive cutaneous anaphylaxis, to detect reagins in man and reagin-like antibodies in the rat and rabbit. Nematodes can provoke a Type I allergic reaction in man, rat and the rabbit.
