title: Histamine-release induced by 7S nerve-growth factor of mouse submandibular salivary glands.
abstract: The 7S nerve-growth factor (7S NGF) purified from mouse submandibular glands induced histamine release from rat-isolated mast cells in the presence of lysophosphatidyl-serine. When 7S NGF was injected intradermally into the rat skin, the vascular permeability increased. This response was abolished by the antihistamine, diphenhydramine. These results show that 7S NGF acts as a potent histamine releaser.
