Release of Histamine and Slow Reacting Substance with Mast Cell Changes after Challenge of Human Lung sensitized passively with Reagin in vitro

Nature volume 215, pages 738–739 (1967)Cite this article

Abstract

I HAVE examined various tissues for their ability to adsorb reagins from whole serum in vitro, and human lung was one of the most effective adsorbents. I tested fresh human lung, removed at operation from a non-allergic individual, for passive sensitization, and release of histamme with mast cell changes after challenge with antigen in vitro.
