Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular analysis of the membrane attack mechanism of complement
TL;DR: In this paper, the molar ratios of the components within the C5-9 assembly on the target cell surface were determined using human complement proteins in highly purified and radiolabeled form.
Molecular analysis of the m embrane attack mechanism of complement
TL;DR: Evidence was obtained indicating that binding and hemolytic function of C9 depends upon cooperative interaction of multiple C9 molecules, which is consistent with the concept that the fully assembled membrane attack mechanism of complement consists of a decamolecular complex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma histamine changes during provoked bronchospasm in asthmatic patients.
TL;DR: In this article, seven patients with bronchial asthma underwent a challenge with aerosolized allergen extracts and methacholine, and significant rises in plasma histamine were detected in 5 of 7 patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship of plasma histamine to the activity of bronchial asthma
TL;DR: Data show a relationship between spontaneously occurring asthmatic attacks and elevated plasma histamine and support previous studies suggesting that histamine may play a role in the mediation of bronchial asthma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiographic contrast media infusions: Measurement of histamine, complement, and fibrin split products and correlation with clinical parameters☆

TL;DR: Although histamine levels, complement activity, and fibrin split products changed in a substantial number of patients undergoing RCM infusions, these changes did not correlate with immediate generalized reactions or with the previously described clinical parameters.
