Histamine protection in guinea-pigs produced by plant tumour extracts

PMCID: PMC1482169  PMID: 13873490

Abstract

Stable extracts were obtained from plant tumours, such as Hungarian oak galls and crown galls of infected tomato plants, which, injected intraperitoneally into guinea-pigs, protected the animals against a subsequent histamine aerosol. The protection produced by the oak gall extracts lasted for a few days and that produced by the crown gall extracts, if injected in sufficient amounts, sometimes for a few weeks.
