Abstract
Histamine release from isolated mast cells stimulated with somatostatin resembled that induced by other basic agents. The process was rapid, independent of added calcium or phospholipids, non-cytotoxic, species and tissue specific, not mediated through cell-fixed antibodies or glucoreceptors, and inhibited by antagonists of the polyamine receptor. Somatostatin and other polycations may then act through a common receptor or binding site on the mast cell membrane.
