title: [The changes of tryptase activity in anaphylactic shock guinea-pigs].
abstract: 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.
