Circulating Endothelial Cells and Arterial Endothelial Mitosis in Anaphylactic Shock

H Payling Wright, N J Giacometti
PMCID: PMC2072382  PMID: 5014238

Abstract

Sensitized guinea-pigs received a shocking dose of ovalbumin. Within 8 min endothelial cells ranging in numbers between 24·0 and 13·88/1000 leukocytes were recovered from the peripheral blood. Control animals had counts between 0·00 and 4·40. Subsequent injection of T-3H and autoradiographic study of Hautchen preparations of aortic endothelium showed a 3-fold increase in mitosis in the shocked animals when compared with controls. The increase in mitosis represents the repair process following endothelial distruction caused by anaphylactic shock.
