Abstract
Mayer and Brousseau (6) and Perry and Darsie, Jr. (7) recently reported some very comprehensive studies on anaphylaxis in mice, but the significance of [See table in the PDF file] histamine was not determined. However, in our own experiments it was found that H. pertussis vaccine injected into mice produced a hypersensitivity to histamine, which could be counteracted by the antihistamine agent Bromothen.It has not yet been determined whether the injection of H. pertussis vaccine into man can produce similar effects.
