The mechanism of anaphylactic histamine release from rabbit leucocytes

M W Greaves, J L Mongar
PMCID: PMC1409537  PMID: 4177078

Abstract

Histamine release from rabbit leucocytes is temperature-dependent and requires the presence of calcium but not magnesium ions. It is inhibited by agents which reduce disulphide linkages, and by sulphydryl-blocking agents, but potentiated by certain dicarboxylic acids.
