- Title
TISSUE INJURY BY AUSTRALIAN BLACK SNAKE VENOM AND "BOUND" HISTAMINE.
- Authors
Threthewie, E. R.; Day, Allan J.
- Abstract
It has been shown that histamine is liberated by Australian black snake venom from the blood-perfused liver of the dog. Inhibitory effect of the plasma on histamine has also been shown. The presence of a "bound" histamine in cell-free plasma has been detected following perfusion. An output of a substance giving the "potassium" reaction in the Kramer and Tisdall test has been shown to occur from the Tyrode-perfused and blood-perfused liver and in the latter case haemolysis does not wholly account for the output. A slow-reacting muscle stimulant substance is also liberated by the blood-perfused liver in considerable amount.
