The Chinese herbal medicine formula FAHF-2 completely blocks anaphylactic reactions in a murine model of peanut allergy Kamal D. Srivastava, MPhil, Jacob D.

Fig 1 A, FAHF-2 prevented a drop in core body temperatures. Rectal temperatures were measured 25 minutes after intragastric peanut challenge in mice challenged at weeks 10 (○), 12 (▿), and 14 (□). Bars indicate the medians of temperature from totals of 5 sets of experiments (sham, n=38; FAHF-2, n=26; naive, n=29). §P < .001 vs naive; ‡P < .001 vs sham. B, FAHF-2 blocked histamine release. Data are plasma histamine levels 30 minutes postchallenge for the same mice as in A. §P < .001 vs naive; ‡P < .001 vs sham.

Fig 2 FAHF-2 prevented vascular leakage. Photograph illustrates mouse footpads after Evan's blue /peanut administration at week 14. Marked vascular leakage (blue) is seen in the sham-treated mice but not in FAHF-2–treated and naive mice. Results represent 2 to 3 mice from each group.

Fig 3 Effect of FAHF-2 on serum peanut-specific IgE and IgG2a levels. Sera were obtained 1 day before treatment (week 3), at each boosting (weeks 6 and 8), and 1 and 5 weeks posttherapy (weeks 10 and 14) in week 14 challenge experiments. Serum peanut-specific IgE (A) and IgG2a (B) levels were determined by ELISA. Data are means ± SEMs for each group from 3 sets of week 14 challenge experiments (sham, n=21; FAHF-2, n=13; naive, n=15). ‡P < .001 vs sham.

Fig 4 Cytokine levels in splenocyte culture supernatants. Splenocytes were pooled from each group after week 14 challenge. Results are expressed as means ± SEMs of cytokines for 3 sets of week 14 challenge experiments. †P < .01 and ‡P < .001 vs sham. PN, Crude peanut extract; Med, medium.
