Rabbit antisera against specifically purified guinea pig IgG1 and IgG2 antibodies and against several papain-fragments of IgG2 were produced. These antisera were made specific by absorption with purified immunoglobulin of the other subclass and assayed for monospecificity by two immunological tests. In the macrophage rosette inhibition test, only the anti-IgG2 and the anti-Fab (IgG2) sera were effective. Inhibition of the rosette formation could be obtained at dilutions up to 1:100 or higher. Attempts to induce passive cutaneous anaphylaxis in the guinea pig skin after sensibilization with homocytotropic antibodies were evidently positive only with rabbit anti-guinea pig IgG1 serum. Anti-IgG2 and anti-IgG2 Fab sera revealed a positive reaction in higher concentrated forms (1:2 or 1:5 diluted) only.

Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) is a significant global health concern and a leading cause of liver disease-related deaths. However, the treatment options are limited due to the lack of animal models that accurately replicate ALD pathogenesis. An ideal ALD animal model should have pathological characteristics similar to those of human ALD, with a clear pathological process and ease of drug intervention.

5-Hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), a vital metabolite of serotonin (5-HT), is crucial for understanding metabolic pathways and is implicated in various mental disorders. In situ monitoring of 5-HIAA is challenging due to the lack of affinity ligands and issues with electrochemical fouling. We present an advanced sensing approach that integrates customizable molecular imprinting polymer (MIP) with self-driven galvanic redox potentiometry (GRP) for precise, real-time in vivo monitoring of 5-HIAA.
