    Notes: Summary An antiserum against conjugated histamine and two oligonucleotide probes that detect the mRNA encoding L-histidine decarboxylase (HDC) involved in histamine synthesis were used to study the appearance of histamine and its location in the kidneys of fetal, newborn and young postnatal rats and in the kidneys of pregnant rats. On embryonic days 16 and 18 (E16 and E18), some HA-immunoreactive (HA-ir) cells were found within the largest S-shaped bodies. Histamine was found to appear rapidly between the 18th and 20th embryonic days in the convoluted tubules of the kidneys. On postnatal day 0 (P0), the distal convoluted tubules and collecting ducts exhibited bright fluorescence, the intensity of which decreased quickly so that it was faint on day P4 and absent at later stages. In kidneys of pregnant rats HA-ir was found in the epithelium of both the Bowman's capsule, collecting ducts and in a few cells within the tubules. Nonuniform HA-ir was also detected within glomeruli. No evidence for the presence of L-histidine decarboxylase mRNA in kidneys of fetuses or pregnant rats was seen. It is concluded that distinct structures in the developing rat kidney contain histamine during a period around birth from day E20 to day P4. In the pregnant rat, the epithelium that is in direct contact with the urine flow is immunoreactive for histamine from day 16 to 20 of pregnancy. The results suggest that histamine is not synthesized locally in the kidneys but rather originates from other tissues.

    Notes: Summary An antiserum against hemocyanin-conjugated histamine was used to study the cellular stores of histamine in the stomach, especially the oxyntic mucosa, of fetal and early postnatal rats. Tissues were fixed in 4% 1-ethyl-3(3-dimethyl-aminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC-DI) and standard immunofluorescence technique was used. Histamine was first detected on the 16th embryonic (E16) day when a few histamine-immunoreactive (HA-ir) cells and nerve fibers were observed in the muscular layer of the stomach wall. On day E18, HA-ir cells were visualized for the first time in the oxyntic mucosa of the stomach, and from that day on the number of such cells increased slowly initially and after day E20 more rapidly. At birth many of the HA-ir cells in the oxyntic mucosa possessed processes giving them a paracrine-like appearance typical of enterochromaffin-like cells (ECL cells). Only a very small number of the HA-ir cells represented metachromatically stained mast cells and were located in the submucosa. After birth, the number of HA-ir ECL cells increased steadily, until day 21 when the distribution and number was very similar to that of the adult. The results suggest that histamine-containing neurons and ECL cells appear in the stomach wall before birth, and that there are histamine-containing ECL cells in the mucosa and mast cells in the submucosa of the stomach wall at birth.
