Abstract
1 The anaphylactic reaction of the guinea-pig ileum, the so called Schultz-Dale reaction, shows a biphasic response: a short rapid contraction followed by a partial relaxation and a slow contractile response. 2 Dose-response curves with ovalbumin as an antigen were obtained for the quick and slow contraction of this anaphylactic reaction. 3 Mepyramine (1 microgram/ml) blocked the rapid first contraction, but failed to abolish the slow one in about 50% of the animals studied. 4 The SRS-A antagonist, FPL 55712, significantly depressed the slow sustained contraction during the Schultz-Dale reaction. Disodiumcromoglycate was without effect on both phases when it was added 5 min before addition of the antigen. However, when added simultaneously with the antigen it produced a 30% suppression of the slow phase in the highest concentration used.
