MeSH Heading: Passive Cutaneous Anaphylaxis
Tree Number(s): E01.370.225.812.871.600; E05.200.812.871.600; E05.478.594.890.600; G12.122.754
Unique ID: D010323
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D010323
Scope Note: An evanescent cutaneous reaction occurring when antibody is injected into a local area on the skin and antigen is subsequently injected intravenously along with a dye. The dye makes the rapidly occurring capillary dilatation and increased vascular permeability readily visible by leakage into the reaction site. PCA is a sensitive reaction for detecting very small quantities of antibodies and is also a method for studying the mechanisms of immediate hypersensitivity.
