NATURE October 21, 1961 genic acid produced positive reactions. 1 pgm. of chlorogenic acid was sufficient to induce a large wheal and flare response with pseudopods in all the subjects tested. On passive transfer testing with the sera obtained from five of these workers, as little as 5 x 10-* pgm. of chlorogenic acid was required to elicit a reaction at a site sensitized with 0-05 ml. of serum. Identical results were found with chlorogenie acid obtained commercially and with chlorogenic acid isolated from the aqueous extract of green coffee by the method of Moores et al..*.Cross-neutralization tests were performed with chlorogenic acid and an aqueous extract of green coffee in order to elucidate the allergenic relationship between these two substances. In one series of tests, sites in the skin of normal human recipients were passively sensitized with sera obtained from indivi-duals allergic to green coffee. These sites were then challenged in 24 hr. by the intradermal injection of 1 pgm. of chlorogenic acid. On the following day, the same sites were re-challenged with 100 pgm. of green coffee extract. There were no reactions on re-challenge, indicating that all the antibody directed against the green coffee had been previously neutralized by the chlorogenic acid (Table 1).
