Abstract

Anaphylactic release of slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis (SRS-A) from chopped guinea pig lung was studied. The antibodies mediating the anaphylactic reaction were classified as IgG antibodies by PCA technique. Isoprenaline was found to inhibit the release of SRS-A in the concentration range 10-8-10-6M, while the beta2-selective agonist terbutaline showed inhibition in the concentration range 10-6-10-5M. The beta1-selective beta-agonist tazolol was ineffective when tested in the concentration range 10-7-10-5M. The rank order of inhibitory potency of the compounds on SRS-A release agree with that for histamine release.
