PG - 141-9 AB - In vitro perfused kidneys of ovalbumin-sensitized guinea-pigs consistently released relatively large quantities of histamine when challenged with the specific antigen (mean +/- SEM in twelve experiments was 37.7 +/- 6.0% of total kidney histamine, maximum 70.6%, compared with a basal release of 0.5 +/- 0.46% over a comparable period) but not with non-cross-reacting antigens. There was also no release from non-sensitized kidney. Rabbit antisera to guinea pig IgG1 and IgG2 immunoglobulins (but not normal rabbit serum) also consistently released histamine from perfused kidneys of sensitized guinea-pigs, but the release was smaller than with antigen, and could also be obtained from kidneys of non-sensitized guinea-pigs (maximum release 62.4% with the most potent antiserum). Guinea-pig kidney cell suspensions prepared by collagenase dispersion in vitro responded similarly, but the release with antigen was small (less than 10% net release, minus the spontaneous release 9.46% on average) as compared to anti-IgG1 (net release up to 38%) or anti-IgG2 (up to 44%). Rat kidney cells prepared by a similar procedure, and passively sensitized in vitro by incubation with rat immunoglobulin E (IgE) myeloma protein also responded to the addition of antiserum to rat IgE by releasing substantial amounts of histamine (up to 44% net release). In addition, heparin-containing cells (presumably mast cells or equivalent) in the enzyme-dispersed kidney cell preparations in both species were identified and counted by an adaptation of the Technicon H 6000 system used for counting blood basophils, and shown to represent 1 in 10,000 or less of the total cell population, which was not different from the count of similar cells in lung and heart tissues.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) FAU - Assem, E S AU - Assem ES FAU - Abdullah, N A AU - Abdullah NA FAU - Ghanem, N S AU - Ghanem NS LA - eng PT - Journal Article PT - Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't PL - Switzerland TA - Agents Actions JT - Agents and actions JID - 0213341 RN - 0 (Immunoglobulin G) RN - 9006-59-1 (Ovalbumin) SB - IM MH - Animals MH - Guinea Pigs MH - *Histamine Release/drug effects MH - Immunoglobulin G/immunology MH - In Vitro Techniques MH - Kidney/immunology/*metabolism MH - Mast Cells/drug effects/metabolism MH - Ovalbumin/immunology MH - Perfusion EDAT- 1986/11/01 00:00 MHDA- 1986/11/01 00:01 CRDT- 1986/11/01 00:00 PHST- 1986/11/01 00:00 [pubmed] PHST- 1986/11/01 00:01 [medline] PHST- 1986/11/01 00:00 [entrez] AID - 10.1007/BF01966198 [doi] PST - ppublish SO - Agents Actions. 1986 Nov;19(3-4):141-9. doi: 10.1007/BF01966198.
