50% Glycerin Saline50% Glycerin Saline is often used to enhance the stability of extracts. 50% Glycerin Saline also helps protect the structure of allergenic proteins that may be particularly susceptible to degradation in solution and may help protect against the effects of prolonged exposure to room temperature.1
50% Glycerin Saline may be used to formulate prescriptions for sublingual immunotherapy. Its sweet taste makes sublingual extracts more palatable to pets2 and enhances patient acceptance.3

ALLERGENIC EXTRACT – FLEA ANTIGEN
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
ALLERGENIC EXTRACT – FLEA ANTIGEN DIRECTIONS FOR USE
FLEA ANTIGEN
DESCRIPTION: Flea antigen is an aqueous extract of the whole bodies of Ctenocephalides spp. with phenol added as a preservative. ACTIONS: The exact mechanism by which flea antigen elicits an allergic response is still under investigation. It has been demonstrated however, that successful hyposensitization treatment decreases specific IgE antibody levels, theoretically by increasing the level of blocking IgG antibodies. These blocking IgG antibodies are believed to complex with the circulating antigen before it can reach the IgE present on the skin and trigger the allergic response.
INDICATIONS 1. DIAGNOSTIC: Flea antigen is a valuable aid in the diagnosis of flea bite allergy.
Compatible clinical signs and documented exposure to fleas are also necessary to establish the diagnosis.
2. THERAPEUTIC: Flea antigen extract is indicated as an aid in alleviating the symptoms associated with flea bite allergy. A program of controlling the flea population by breaking the life cycle and minimizing flea infestation on the animal should be initiated before or concurrent with hyposensitization treatment. Concomittant antibiotic therapy and an appropriate bathing program should be given where significant secondary bacterial infection is evident. Short-term corticosteroid therapy may be used as an adjunct in the early stages of therapy.
CONTRAINDICATIONS 1. DIAGNOSTIC: Corticosteroids will inhibit the histamine mediated immediate skin test.
Any patient that has undergone continual corticosteroid treatment should discontinue this treatment for a period of one week for every month of said treatment before this patient is skin tested. However, animals with severe skin problems should be treated with antibiotics, soothing baths and possibly short term oral cortisone until their skin conditions will not interfere with skin testing.
2. THERAPEUTIC: Flea antigen is indicated for hyposensitization only when flea bite hypersensitivity has been unequivocally demonstrated both clinically and by intradermal skin testing.
PRECAUTIONS: Have in stock the following: 1. A hydrocortisone (such as Solu-Cortef®) or a prednisolone (such as Solu-Delta-Cortef®). 2. An antihistamine such as diphenhydramine hydrochloride (Benadryl®). 3. Epinephrine diluted 1:1,000. Keep patient under observation for a period of at least 30 minutes after administration. Note: Animals prone to severe reactions should be given diphenhydramine hydrochloride (Benadryl®) 30 minutes prior to treatment dose administration.
1 REACTIONS: Adverse reactions are very rarely seen and usually consist of an exacerbation of clinical signs if too large a dose is given. However, in the event of an overdose or alternatively, exquisite sensitivity of the animal, the patient may exhibit restlessness, panting, generalized hives, vomiting, circulatory collapse, and diarrhea (See Overdose section below for treatment).
There are also several normal reactions that may occur and the owner should be advised of these prior to administration of the allergen. Temporary pain and discomfort may be experienced at the time of injection, with some stiffness and soreness occurring later. A small area of ulceration may occur where intradermal administration is employed.
OVERDOSAGE: If symptoms of overdosage occur (See Reactions section above) treatment employing (a), (b) or (c) below or a combination thereof can be effective in combating an adverse reaction.
(a) Intravenous injection of hydrocortisone (i.e. Solu-Cortef®) in a dosage of 10-15 mg/lb, or alternatively, a prednisolone (i.e. Solu-Delta-Cortef®) in a dosage of 5 mg/lb. (b) Intramuscular or subcutaneous injection of epinephrine in a dosage of 0.5-1.0 ml at 1:1,000. (c) Intravenous injection of an antihistamine such as diphenhydramine hydrochloride (Benadryl®) in a dosage of 0.5-1.0 mg/lb. Note: In a crisis situation epinephrine may be administered intravenously. Use 0.5 to 1.0 ml of a 1:1,000 dilution. SKIN TESTING: DOSAGE AND ROUTE OF ADMINISTRATION 1. Materials Needed:
a. Sterile 1 ml tuberculin type syringes with 25 or 26 gauge needles, 3/8 to ½ inch in length. b. Flea antigen at 1:1,000 w/v (final concentration). c. Diluent control (negative control). d. 1:100,000 w/v histamine phosphate (positive control).
2. Suggested Procedure: a. Prepare the test area by clipping and cleansing testing site (lateral thorax or inguinal
area). b. Five minutes prior to the test, the site may be cleaned with alcohol which is allowed to
dry by evaporation. c. Using a separate syringe for each solution, load the 1 ml tuberculin syringe with 0.1 ml of
control solution or flea extract. d. Ensure that all air bubbles have been expelled from the loaded syringe, because injection
of air bubbles may force dermal cells apart and create false reactions. e. The injection sites should be at least 2.5 cm from each other and the injections should be
atraumatic. f. After gently stretching the skin around the test site, the needle is inserted into the skin at
an angle of approximately ten (10) degrees with the bevel upwards. g. Stop inserting the needle when the entire bevel is buried in the skin (ideally the bevel
should be visible through the superficial layers of the skin). h. Inject 0.05 ml of the control solution or flea extract and gently remove the needle to
prevent traumatic hemorrhage.
2 i. Retain the remaining 0.05 ml of control solution or flea extract in case the wheal is
unsatisfactory due to movement of the patient or poor injection technique. j. The skin test should be completed as soon as possible to allow simultaneous comparison
of the flea antigen wheal against the controls.
3. Interpretation: a. Immediate (IgE mediated) reactivity will cause a wheal within 15 minutes. b. A wheal that is five (5) or more millimeters greater than the negative control denotes a
positive reaction. However, a strong positive is likely to be close to the histamine injection in size, and will be a minimum of one (1) centimeter in diameter.
c. If patient is negative at 15 minutes reexamine after 24 hours to check for delayed reactions.
d. See Overdose procedure if adverse reactions occur.
HYPOSENSITIZATION: DOSAGE AND ROUTE OF ADMINISTRATION: Discussion: The optimum dosage and route of administration of flea antigen has not been clearly established and currently many dosage schedules are in use. Subcutaneous or intradermal injections have been administered with success,6 7 but it has been noted that if at least part of each injection is intradermal the response seems improved.1 A suggested treatment schedule is offered below, however; in the final analysis the dosage and length of treatment will depend upon the sensitivity and responsiveness of the patient.
Treatment: The suggested hyposensitization dose is 0.1-0.5 ml of the Flea Antigen at a 1:100 w/v per 25 lbs. of body weight. Treatments should be initiated with a 0.1 ml/25 lbs. dose and gradually increased to a maintenance dose of 0.5 ml/25 lbs. The treatment should continue for a 6 to 24 week period. The injection is administered intradermally at a number of sites with a 1.0 ml sterile tuberculin syringe, using a 25 or 26 gauge needle 3/8 to ½ inch in length. Intradermal injections should not exceed 0.2 ml per site or adverse reactions may occur.
SUGGESTED DOSAGE SCHEDULE Week Volume of 1:100 w/v Flea
Antigen per 25 lbs. of Body Weight
1 0.1 ml 2 0.2 ml 3 0.3 ml 4 0.4 ml 5 0.5 ml 6 0.5 ml
Bi-weekly to 24 weeks if necessary etc. Boosters can be given if symptoms reoccur or as a prophylactic measure before flea season. The booster dose should not exceed the last dose given.
HOW SUPPLIED: Flea antigen is supplied in sterile 10 ml vials at a concentration of 1:100 w/v (aqueous only).
