Abstract
It has been shown previously that the respiration of rat mast cells is temporarily stimulated for 15–20 minutes after histamine release is initiated by anaphylactic reaction in vitro [2]. In these experiments measurements of oxygen uptake could not be resumed until 4–5 minutes after mixing the mast cells with antigen but, by extrapolation, the stimulation appeared to have been initiated at the time of the contact of the mast cells with the antigen.
