Experiments were performed to study the effects of agents that elevate endogenous cyclic AMP levels on the progression of a reverse passive Arthus reaction in the pleural cavity of rats. Three hours after the onset of the reaction a marked reduction in histamine release was observed which correlated

The pleural cavity of rats was used to study the effect of altering leucocyte cyclic AMP content on the release of B-glucuronidase activity during an immediate hypersensitivity reaction. The effect on intravenous colchicine was also studied. Despite an increase of 135 to 235% in leucocyte cyclic AMP
A single UVB or PUVA exposure given 4 days prior to skin testing affected skin responses both to contact allergens and to histamine and the histamine liberator, compound 48/80. The delayed contact hypersensitivity reactions were attenuated by UVB in 75% and by PUVA in 79% of the tests. The immediate
