    Rabbits exhibit a cutaneous basophil hypersensitivity response to bovine serum albumin and Staphylococcus aureus. This study highlights rabbits as a valuable model for studying basophil responses due to their distinct basophil populations.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Cellular Biology

    Background:

    • Cutaneous basophil hypersensitivity (CBH) is an immune response observed in various species.
    • Understanding the cellular mechanisms of CBH is crucial for immune system research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the induction and characteristics of cutaneous basophil hypersensitivity in rabbits.
    • To establish rabbits as a suitable animal model for studying basophil-mediated immune responses.

    Main Methods:

    • Rabbits were immunized with bovine serum albumin (BSA) or Staphylococcus aureus.
    • Intradermal challenge with the respective antigens was performed 7 days post-immunization.
    • A novel method using subcutaneous connective tissue spreads was employed to visualize basophil infiltration.

    Main Results:

    • A significant basophil response was observed in rabbits challenged with BSA, mimicking CBH in other species.
    • Similar basophil infiltration was noted in rabbits challenged with viable Staphylococcus aureus.
    • The described method effectively visualized basophil infiltration in rabbit connective tissue.

    Conclusions:

    • Rabbits demonstrate a robust cutaneous basophil hypersensitivity response to both protein antigens and bacterial challenges.
    • The rabbit is proposed as an excellent model for basophil research, owing to its distinct basophil population and minimal presence of potentially confounding mast cells.
