[The changes of tryptase activity in anaphylactic shock guinea-pigs].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the changes of the activity of tryptase of sera, lungs and bronchial tubes in the guinea-pigs which suffered from hetero-serum anaphylactic shock.


METHODS
Sera and tissues were collected from anaphylactic shock guinea-pigs, and the enzyme activity was tested colormetrically using special substrate, BAPNA.


RESULTS
The activity of tryptase of sera, lungs and bronchial tubes increased significantly in Anaphylactic guinea-pigs compared with control group.


CONCLUSIONS
The changes of tryptase activity are helpful to diagnose anaphylactic shock.
