Abstract
Histamine is a relatively specific indicator of mast cell activation in humans and has been clearly implicated as a primary mediator in allergic reactions. Many potential roles for histamine in human health and disease have been suggested, but only a few have been confirmed because of the difficulty in handling and assaying histamine in biologic specimens.
