Protection of Cattle against Experimentally Induced Anaphylaxis

Abstract

SYMPTOMS of anaphylaxis and the relative importance of individual chemical mediators vary widely in different species. The importance of histamine has been established in the guinea-pig1 and the dog2, while 5-hydroxytryptamine has been shown to play a principal part in anaphylactic reactions in the rabbit3. Bradykinin4 and a slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis (SRS-A)5 have both been found to be involved in anaphylaxis in the guinea-pig6 and SRS-A in the rat7.
