Histamine release from human leukocytes when stimulated by Mycoplasma salivarium.

C F Parkinson
PMCID: PMC415106  PMID: 46845

Abstract

Incubated mixtures of Mycoplasma salivarium and nonsensitized mixed leukocytes released histamine. Spectrophotofluorometric detection of histamine occurred at physiological temperature and pH independent of complement and specific antiserum.
