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

β¦ Synopsis
The effect of altering endogenous leucocyte cyclic AMP levels on phagocytosis and lysosomal enzyme release was studied in vivo. Acute pleural exudates were produced in rats using either calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals or rat serum. Despite marked increases in leucocyte cyclic AMP concentration produced by injection of dibutyryl cyclic AMP and theophylline, there was no reduction in crystal phagocytosis or in enzyme discharge.

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
