Histamine binding proteins in allergic diseases.
The present studies deal with histamine binding by some serum proteins of persons with allergic disorders and of normal subjects. It was found, that a defect in histamine inactivation occurs in patients with infectious bronchial asthma. There was no impairment of histaminopexy in the cases of hay fever and Quincke's edema.
