Mast Cell Degranulation and Histamine Release Observed in a New in Vitro System
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method is described by which mast cells harvested from the rat peritoneal cavity can be deposited on the surface of a Millipore filter without gross injury, permitting observation of morphological and chemical changes induced by a variety of agents. These isolated peritoneal mast cells respond to 48/80 and to polymyxin B but not to dextran or ovomucoid with degranulation and histamine release. Thus four agents which in vivo appear to have similar activities have been found by means of in vitro analysis to operate by at least two different mechanisms.

Antianaphylactic and antiasthmatic properties of new piperazinyl 7-(beta-hydroxypropyl)-theophylline derivatives in guinea pigs.
The present studies have demonstrated that new piperazinyl 7-(beta-hydroxypropyl)-theophylline derivatives (R3, R6, R7) possess antihistamine, antianaphylactic and antiasthmatic properties. The compound R6 exerted especially pronounced selective protective action in experimental histamine asthma and provided effective prevention against anaphylactic shock in guinea pigs. The evidence was also p...
متن کاملInfluence of MRI contrast media on histamine release from mast cells
BACKGROUND Mast cells, owing to diversity of secreted mediators, play a crucial role in the regulation of inflammatory response. Together with basophils, mast cells constitute a central pathogenetic element of anaphylactic (IgE-dependent) and anaphylactoid (IgE-independent) reactions. In severe cases, generalized degranulation of mast cells may cause symptoms of anaphylactic shock. The influenc...

This study was mainly to observe the anti-allergic effect of Fructus cnidii ethanol extract. Three methods were chose to observe the anti-allergic effect of Fructus cnidii including rat Passive Cutaneous Anaphylaxis (PCA) tests, rat skull periosteum mast cell degranulation tests, and histamine released factors in rat peritoneal mast cells sensitized mast cells with vitro techniques. The PCA inh...
متن کاملThe Influence of IgE on Cultured Human Mast Cells
PURPOSE The mast cell plays a pivotal role in the human immune response. Crosslinking of 2 IgE molecules bound to the high affinity IgE receptor (FcεRI) on the surface of the mast cell results in mast cell degranulation and the release of several proinflammatory mediators. Patients with type-I allergy have increased levels of IgE in the blood compared to healthy individuals. METHODS In a 6-we...
متن کاملMast cell degranulation induced by type 1 fimbriated Escherichia coli in mice.
The strategic location of mast cells at the host-environment interface and their ability to release potent mediators of inflammation have suggested that these cells may play a pivotal role in host defense against bacterial infection. The ability of the opportunistic pathogen, Escherichia coli, to induce degranulation of mast cells obtained from the mouse peritoneum was investigated. We determin...
