  • Title: Stimulation of histamine synthesis in rat mast cells by compound 48/80 in vitro.
    Author: Rothschild AM, Fortunato IC.
    Journal: Experientia; 1984 Oct 15; 40(10):1151-2. PubMed ID: 6208052.
    Abstract:
    The histamine content of rat peritoneal fluid cells is doubled within 20 min by 0.5 microgram/ml of compound 48/80. Histamine catabolism inhibitors do not reproduce this effect; cells pre-incubated with alpha-fluoromethylhistidine are unresponsive to compound 48/80 which therefore activates pre-formed histidine decarboxylase rather than 'inducing' it. Non-mast cells showed no change after treatment with compound 48/80.
