Abstract
Histamine, one of the mediators involved in the IgE-mediated reaction, was demonstrated to influence in vivo and in vitro components of cellular-immune reactions in orthochlorbenzoyl-bovine gamma globulin-immune guinea pigs. 10(-3) M histamine reduced by half the size of a delayed hypersensitivity skin test at 24 h. Inhibition of skin reactivity by histamine could be partially reversed by H-1 receptor antagonists such as chlorpheniramine and completely prevented by H-2 receptor antagonists such as burimamide. The histamine suppression of cutaneous delayed hypersensitivity could be accounted for in part by its inhibitory effect on certain lymphocyte responses including antigen-induced migration inhibitory factor (MIF) production and proliferation. At concentrations of 10(-3)-10(-5) M histamine reversibly inhibited MIF production and its action could be blocked by H-2 antagonists but not H-1 antagonists. Thus, lymphocytes bearing H-2 receptors modulate MIF production and probably lymphocyte proliferation as well. Histamine did not interfere with the macrophage response to preformed MIF. These studies indicate that immediate hypersensitivity reactions involving histamine release might influence the subsequent expression of cellular-immune reactions.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
