Summary

  1. 1.

    Blood-lymph permeability increasing effects of frog liver lysosomes,Escherichia coli 0111 endotoxin, bradykinin and serotonin were demonstrated in frogs with a method developed by the authors. These actions were expressed in a faster dye saturation in the lymph as compared to that of the controls.

  2. 2.

    The method is based on the determinations of concentration of Evans blue transported as protein-bound dye into the lymph.

  3. 3.

    Frog liver and polymorphonuclear leukocyte lysosomes had a capillary permeability increasing action tested by local skin response when injecting Evans blue intravenously in mice.

  4. 4.

    All these phenomena are similar to events described earlier in mammalian systems.
