Abstract
The mechanism of histamine release induced from isolated rat peritoneal mast cells by clinical dextran was examined in detail. The putative involvement of cell-fixed IgE antibodies in the process was discounted by a number of experimental approaches. Instead, the characteristics of the release were found to be consistent with the interaction of the polysaccharide with specific glucoreceptors on the mast cell membrane.Entities:
