Summary The influence of anaerobiose and of varied oxygen tensions upon respiration and histamine release during anaphylactic reaction in guineapig lung slicesin vitro was studied. No histamine was liberated in the absence of oxygen. With increasing oxygen tensions, increasing histamine quantities were released; these quantities reached the control values when the atmosphere contained 10% oxygen. These results indicate that the mechanism of histamine release in the anaphylactic reaction is linked with the aerobic metabolism of the cell.
