Abstract

The purpose of the study reported here was to test the hypotheses that clinically healthy dogs will not manifest immediate hypersensitivity responses to intradermal injection of Malassezia pachydermatis extracts but that affected dogs with Malassesia otitis will manifest such hypersensitivity. Wd desired to identify approximate molecular mass of any allergenic components of the yeast by use of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The protein profile of Malassezia pachydermatis extracts showed between 16 and 110 kDa. Especially, the intensity was strongest between 25 and 80 kDa. Mean wheal diameters in the affected groups of 20, 2, 0.2, and $0.02{\mu}g/ml$ were $13.36{\pm}0.67,\;5.33{\pm}0.67,\;5.47{\pm}0.82,\;and\;5.07{\pm}0.64$, respectively. Mean wheal thickness in the affected groups of 20, 2, 0.2, and $0.02{\mu}g/ml$ was $6.44{\pm}0.40,\;3.86{\pm}0.35,\;2.64{\pm}0.36,\;and\;2.60{\pm}0.44$, respectively. The difference of wheal diameters and thickness between healthy and affected groups was significant (p<0.05). In conclusion, the observations confirm that Malassezia pachydermatis-derived antigens may induce an immediate wheal response when intradermal injected in dogs. It seems reasonable to suggest that hypersensitivity to yeast may contribute to the development of clinical signs in dogs with immediate skin test reactivity, especially in dogs with Malassezia otitis extema.

Malassezia pachydermatis 추출물의 피내접종시 과민반응을 알아보고자 본 실험을 수행하였다. 정상적인 개와 M. pachydermatis 외이염에 이환된 개를 대상으로 M. pachydermatis 추출물의 피내접종을 실시하였다. 전기영동을 통해 M. pachydermatis 분자량 조사를 통해 $43{\sim}63kDa$을 포함하고 있는 추출물을 사용하였다. Malassezia 외이염에 감염된 군에서의 평균 팽진의 직경은 20, 2, 0.2, and $0.02{\mu}g/ml$을 피내로 접종했을 때, 각각 $13.36{\pm}0.67,\;5.33{\pm}0.67,\;5.47{\pm}0.82$$5.07{\pm}0.64$을 나타내었으며, 팽진의 두께는 각각 20, 2, 0.2, and $0.02{\mu}g/ml$에서 $6.44{\pm}0.40,\;3.86{\pm}0.35,\;2.64{\pm}0.36$$2.60{\pm}0.44$를 나타내었다. 통계학적으로 건강한 군과 외이염에 이환된 군에 있어서 유의한 차이가 인정되었다. (p<0.01). 더구나$20{\mu}g/ml$ 을 주입한 군에서 이 차이는 더욱 두드러져 농도 의존성을 나타내었다. 따라서 M. pachydermatis 유래 항원을 개의 피내에 접종했을 때, 즉시 팽진반응을 유발한다는 것이 확인되었으며 효모균에 대한 과민증은 즉시형 피부과민반응을 보이는 개, 특히 Malassezia otitis에 감염된 개에서 임상증상의 발현에 관여하는 것으로 사료된다. 또한 2, 0.2, $0.02{\mu}g/ml$의 농도에서는 큰 차이를 보이지 않는 것으로 보아 즉시형 과민반응을 나타내기 위해서는 일정한 역치가 있을 것으로 생각되며 이에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
