Abstract

The effect of two recently synthetized selective histamine H2-receptor agonists on anaphylactic histamine release from human basophilic leukocytes was investigated. It was found that both agonists tested, partially inhibited histamine release induced either by antigen or by human anti-IgE. Cimetidine, the histamine H2-receptor antagonist, generally antagonized this effect. It is concluded that anaphylactic basophil histamine release can be modulated by stimulation of histamine H2-receptors.
