Abstract

A new method is presented for studying mediator release in isolated peritoneal cells of the rat. Using a superfusion technique, cells can be maintained in a continuously cleared medium. Cells were stimulated with antigen, compound 48/80 or A23187 to characterize this preparation. In addition, inhibitory effects of theophylline, isoprenaline and cromoglycate on compound 48/80-induced histamine release were studied. We conclude that superfusion is a valid alternative to study mediator release from isolated peritoneal cells.
