Abstract

The morphological and functional state of the adrenergic and cholinergic innervation of the bronchopulmonary apparatus of guinea pigs was studied by luminescence and histochemical methods under normal conditions and during the course of sensitization (subcutaneous and inhalation methods) by the allergen of the miteDermatophagoides pteronyssinus. Considerable excitation of the adrenergic innervation and a fall in acetylcholinesterase activity were observed in the bronchopulmonary tissue during sensitization of the animals.
