  • Title: Potentiation of cutaneous reactivity and blood leucocyte histamine release by deuterium oxide in human beings.
    Author: Vervloet D, Vellieux P, Charpin J.
    Journal: Acta Allergol; 1976 Oct; 31(5):367-72. PubMed ID: 62485.
    Abstract:
    Deuterium oxide (D2O) is known to potentiate non-cytotoxic histamine release in vitro. It has been shown (5) that D2O could also potentiate in vivo immediate-type hypersensitivity in dogs and monkeys. Present studies demonstrate potentiation in vivo by D2O of the cutaneous reactivity in 48/80, PHA and Dermatophagoides cutaneous reactions in human beings. PHA histamine release from human leucocytes is also potentiated by D2O in vitro.
