title: Selective increased tissue histamine levels in tumour-bearing rodents.
abstract: Histamine levels increased in the fundus of mice bearing a primary 3-methylcholanthrene-induced fibrosarcoma, and in the ventral skin, skeletal muscle and rumen of rats bearing a D.M.B.A. induced mammary adenocarcinoma; they did not increase in the tissues of mice bearing a McC3-1 fibrosarcoma (38th passage) or a Lewis lung carcinoma before the appearance of metastasis, but an increase in histamine levels was observed in dorsal skin, ventral skin and fundus, after the appearance of metastasis.
