Abstract
The liberation of deposit histamine from mast cells and the role of histamine in immunological (anaphylactic) shock reactions is well established. Concerning endotoxin shock and various other forms of shock, however, the significance of histamine is still subject to discussion, although the histamine liberating effect of endotoxins from mast cells has been proved by Hinshaw et al. (1960).
