The effect of histamine on the production of cytokines by subpopulations of mononuclear cells was studied. A 3.5-fold increase in the number of myeloid colony-forming units (CFU-C) was observed when bone marrow cells were cultured in the presence of conditioned medium prepared from nonadherent mononuclear cells cultured with 10(-4) M histamine (CM-histamine) compared with phosphate-buffered saline (CM-PBS). Using ELISA and radioimmunoassay kits, histamine was found to enhance the production of GM-CSF (9.6-fold) and IL-6 (8.2-fold) by mononuclear cells but not by nonadherent cells or large granular lymphocytes. Anti-GM-CSF and anti-IL-6 antibodies markedly blocked cytokine activity in CM-PBS, whereas the blocking effect in CM-histamine was moderate, indicating enhanced GM-CSF and IL-6 activity in CM-histamine. No GM-CSF or IL-6 levels could be detected in CM-histamine or CM-PBS prepared from CD3+, CD4+, or CD8+ lymphocytes. Preincubation of CM-histamine with H1 and H2 receptor antagonists resulted in complete blocking of the histamine-enhanced colony-stimulating activity. We conclude that histamine is able to activate human mononuclear cells to generate cytokines such as GM-CSF and IL-6 via H1 and H2 receptors.

D011738 Pyrilamine A histamine H1 antagonist. It has mild hypnotic properties and some local anesthetic action and is used for allergies (including skin eruptions) both parenterally and locally. It is a common ingredient of cold remedies. Mepyramine,Pyranisamine,Anthisan,Boots Bite & Sting Relief,Kriptin,Mepyramine Maleate,Pyrilamine Maleate,Maleate, Mepyramine,Maleate, Pyrilamine
D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays
D011899 Ranitidine A non-imidazole blocker of those histamine receptors that mediate gastric secretion (H2 receptors). It is used to treat gastrointestinal ulcers.

D002927 Cimetidine A histamine congener, it competitively inhibits HISTAMINE binding to HISTAMINE H2 RECEPTORS. Cimetidine has a range of pharmacological actions. It inhibits GASTRIC ACID secretion, as well as PEPSIN and GASTRIN output.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
