A tiny fraction of people immunized with lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-enclosed mRNA (LNP-mRNA) vaccines develop allergic symptoms following their first or subsequent vaccinations, including anaphylaxis. These reactions resemble complement (C) activation-related pseudoallergy (CARPA) to i.v.

Pigs are known to provide a sensitive model for studying complement (C) activation-related pseudoallergy (CARPA), a hypersensitivity reaction to liposomal and many other nanomedicines that limits their clinical use. The utility of rats as a CARPA model has, however, not been analyzed to date in detail. The present study compared the two models by inducing CARPA with i.

Intravenous administration of low (milligram) doses of nanoparticulate materials in pigs can lead to acute cardiopulmonary, hemodynamic, hematological, biochemical and dermatological changes within minutes, mimicking the human infusion (or anaphylactoid) reactions to many state-of-the-art (nano)medicines and biologicals. Because of the causal role of complement (C) activation, the phenomenon was called C activation-related pseudoallergy (CARPA). This review summarizes the available information on porcine CARPA caused by different liposomes and polymers.

Vascular leakage induced by intradermal injection of endotoxin, zymosan-activated plasma (ZAP) and platelet-activating factor (PAF) was measured in nine Thoroughbreds using 125-iodine human serum albumin (125I-HSA) as a marker in the blood. ZAP and PAF produced dose-dependent increases in vascular permeability with the maximum occurring within the first 15 min after injection. The vascular leakage induced by endotoxin was also dose-dependent, but the maximum occurred 2 h after intradermal injection.

The spasmogenic effect of C5a is mediated by histamine and/or eicosanoids. Tachyphylaxis to this effect of C5a occurs rapidly, but the spasmogenic effects of C5a on a guinea pig lung parenchymal strips, field-stimulated ventricular papillary muscle, and human umbilical artery were completely restored by a 1-h period of drug-free rest, whereas that of guinea pig ileum was not. Perfusion of the isolated human placental lobule with C5a caused a transient pressor response that was largely abolished by indomethacin (5 microM), indicating mediation by cyclooxygenase metabolites.
