ABSTRACT
Chickens and rabbits were injected intradermally with an endotoxin, namely Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Twenty-four hours later, LPS was again administered intravenously to induce a local Shwartzman reaction. A typical cutaneous inflammatory reaction developed in rabbits, but not in chickens. Even very high doses of LPS, that made the birds visibly sick, failed to elicit the reaction. The results suggest that chickens are refractory to the Shwartzman reaction. A noteworthy feature of the chickens' response to intradermal endotoxin was the formation of prominent perivascular lymphoid aggregates.
