Response to Anti-human IgE in Human Pulmonary Arteries: Regulation by Endothelium
1993
Initial reports concerning anaphylactic reactions in the lung have demonstrated that histamine is released, and this mediator may be responsible for the severe hypotension observed in vivo in sensitized animals. However, those mechanisms involved in the antigen-vascular interactions have not been elucidated. Human isolated pulmonary arterial preparations relaxed when challenged with anti-human IgE (a-IgE). This response was associated with a release of histamine and PGI2. Both the relaxation and the release of PGI2 were attenuated by removal of the endothelium or by prior treatment of the tissues with chlorpheniramine. Indomethacin also significantly reduced the relaxations produced by a-Ig…
The Concise Guide To Pharmacology 2021/22: G Protein-Coupled Receptors
2021
The Concise Guide to PHARMACOLOGY 2021/22 is the fifth in this series of biennial publications. The Concise Guide provides concise overviews, mostly in tabular format, of the key properties of nearly 1900 human drug targets with an emphasis on selective pharmacology (where available), plus links to the open access knowledgebase source of drug targets and their ligands (www.guidetopharmacology.org), which provides more detailed views of target and ligand properties. Although the Concise Guide constitutes over 500 pages, the material presented is substantially reduced compared to information and links presented on the website. It provides a permanent, citable, point-in-time record that will s…
