Prostaglandins as modulators of the inflammatory response in the rat.

E-type PGs, injected in rat skin at a low dose concentration (1-5 ng ml-) proved not to release vasoactive amines from local mast cell, enhance increase in vascular permeability evoked by hypersensitivity endogenous inflammatory reactions (passive cutaneous anaphylaxis and reversed passive Arthus) or by intradermal injection of histamine and bradykinin. The possible role of PGE1 and PGE2 as modulators of the inflammatory response is discussed.

[Correlation between chemical carcinogenesis and immune response].

Methylcholanthrene, in amount sufficient to induce tumors in 100% of treated animals failed to influence primary and secondary phases of antibody synthesis in mice immunized with sheep erythrocytes and human serum albumin. The early immune response in tumor bearing mice was also indistinguischable from that of normal animals, despite the presence of marked splenomegaly in the former group.
