Abstract
Summary
Meningococcal endotoxin injected intravenously into rabbits caused a rapid decrease in the histamine content of the blood and an increase in the histamine content of liver and muscle.
The decrease in histamine in the blood was not prevented by the intravenous injection of histamine along with the endotoxin.
The survival time of rabbits injected intravenously with meningococcal endotoxin was markedly shortened by a simultaneous injection of a small dose of histamine.
