Macrophages and lymphocytes: Alternative sources of histamine

Abstract: Some recent observations have indicated that cells other than mast cells, notably macrophages, may contain significant amounts of histamine. Using a histamine-specific radioimmunoassay, we found that human blood monocytes and lymphocytes contain about 0.05 pg histamine/cell. Various other cells, e.g. fibroblasts, colorectal tumor, kidney and ovarian cells, and murine bone marrow derived macrophages contained markedly less histamine (< 0.008 pg/cell). Ionophore A23187 (1 microM) released up to 50% of the total … Show more

“…Both mast cells and MØ can produce and release histamine (59)(60)(61). However, relatively large numbers of mast cells are present in the peritoneum (2-5% of total cells) (23), and peritoneal mast cells may contain 2-10 picograms of histamine per cell (62).…”

“…However, relatively large numbers of mast cells are present in the peritoneum (2-5% of total cells) (23), and peritoneal mast cells may contain 2-10 picograms of histamine per cell (62). On the other hand, MØ only contain small amounts of histamine (about 0.5% of the histamine stored in mast cells) (35,61,63). Therefore, mast FIG.…”
