Conclusion

(1) Total histamine levels were about 18 mcg of histamine base per gram of fresh human lung tissue. (2) When histamine release induced by anti-IgE serum increased, total histamine always increased. (3) Lung mast cells of all patients released histamine when challenged with anti-IgE serum. There was no difference between allergic and non-allergic subjects.
