title: [Mast cells of the lungs in experimental hyperergic pleurisy].
abstract: Reaction of mast cells, the content of free and cell histamine and serotonin in the lung tissue at early stage of inflammation were studied on the model of hyperergic pleurisy in albino rats. Intrapleural antigen injection to sensitized rats was followed by progressive degranulation of mast cells of pleural and subpleural lung tissue with release of histamine and serotonin. The maximal increase in the content of free amines was found after 15 min. The level of free amines did not differ significantly from the initial one by the first hour. The early activation of amines synthesis and their storage recovery were observed as well as reactions of the late phase of immunological activation in the mast cells as a leukocytic tissue infiltration by subsequently polymorphonuclear leukocytes and macrophages.
