| pubmed-article:1792065 | pubmed:abstractText | A drug-induced allergic hepatic disorder model was established using a hapten and carrier. Penicillin G was bound to glycine for the preparation of N-hydroxy succinic imidylglycinyl benzylpenicillate (PG-Gly-OSu). Using this as the hapten and liver protein as the carrier, guinea pigs were sensitized with liver protein bound to PG-Gly-OSu. After 2 weeks, the sensitized guinea pigs were directly challenged with hepatocytes bound to PG-Gly-OSu through a mesenteric vein and hepatocellular disorder was induced. When the sensitized guinea pigs were challenged with PG-Gly-OSu alone or with liver protein alone, hepatocellular disorder could not be induced. These results suggest that the combination of PG-Gly-OSu as the hapten and liver protein as the carrier elicits a hepatocellular disorder similar to drug-induced allergic hepatitis. | lld:pubmed |
