Summary
Unlike the previously reported inhibitory effect of histamine on the production of the lymphokine, migration inhibitory factor, histamine did not inhibit the production of macrophage aggregating factor (MAgF). By contrast, both prostaglandin E2 and hydrocortisone inhibited MAgF production, in a dose-dependant manner.
