Abstract
Anaphylaxis is a notorious type 2 immune response which may result in a systemic response and lead to death. A precondition for the unfolding of the anaphylactic shock is the secretion of inflammatory mediators from mast cells in response to an allergen, mostly through activation of the cells via the IgE-dependent pathway. While mast cells are specialized secretory cells that can secrete through a variety of exocytic modes, the most predominant mode exerted by the mast cell during anaphylaxis is compound exocytosis-a specialized form of regulated exocytosis where secretory granules fuse to one another. Here, we review the modes of regulated exocytosis in the mast cell and focus on compound exocytosis. We review historical landmarks in the research of compound exocytosis in mast cells and the methods available for investigating compound exocytosis. We also review the molecular mechanisms reported to underlie compound exocytosis in mast cells and expand further with reviewing key findings from other cell types. Finally, we discuss the possible reasons for the mast cell to utilize compound exocytosis during anaphylaxis, the conflicting evidence in different mast cell models, and the open questions in the field which remain to be answered.

Abstract
Regulated exocytosis is a process by which cargo, which is stored in secretory granules (SGs), is released in response to a secretory trigger. Regulated exocytosis is fundamental for intercellular communication and is a key mechanism for the secretion of neurotransmitters, hormones, inflammatory mediators, and other compounds, by a variety of cells. At least three distinct mechanisms are known for regulated exocytosis: full exocytosis, where a single SG fully fuses with the plasma membrane, kiss-and-run exocytosis, where a single SG transiently fuses with the plasma membrane, and compound exocytosis, where several SGs fuse with each other, prior to or after SG fusion with the plasma membrane. The type of regulated exocytosis undertaken by a cell is often dictated by the type of secretory trigger. However, in many cells, a single secretory trigger can activate multiple modes of regulated exocytosis simultaneously. Despite their abundance and importance across cell types and species, the mechanisms that determine the different modes of secretion are largely unresolved. One of the main challenges in investigating the different modes of regulated exocytosis, is the difficulty in distinguishing between them as well as exploring them separately. Here we describe the use of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-dextran as an exocytosis reporter, and live cell imaging, to differentiate between the different pathways of regulated exocytosis, focusing on compound exocytosis, based on the robustness and duration of the exocytic events.

Abstract
During infection, signals from the periphery are known to reach draining lymph nodes (DLNs), but how these molecules, such as inflammatory cytokines, traverse the significant distances involved without dilution or degradation remains unclear. We show that peripheral mast cells, upon activation, release stable submicrometer heparin-based particles containing tumor necrosis factor and other proteins. These complexes enter lymphatic vessels and rapidly traffic to the DLNs. This physiological drug delivery system facilitates communication between peripheral sites of inflammation and remote secondary lymphoid tissues.

Abstract
The subcellular events responsible for release of mediators by mast cells may help to clarify roles for mast cells in health and disease. In this study we show that the granule-associated protease chymase is also within cytoplasmic vesicles in appropriately stimulated rat peritoneal mast cells. Rat peritoneal mast cells were recovered before or 1-10 sec after exposure to the secretogogue compound 48/80 (10 micrograms/ml) and then were examined by radioimmunoassay to quantify histamine release or were processed, using routine methods for postembedding immunoelectron microscopy, to identify the subcellular localization of chymase. In comparison to unstimulated cells, compound 48/80 stimulated cells in two independent experiments showed an increase (15%, 28%) in the surface area of the cell and a decrease (12%, 6%) in the surface area of the total granule compartment before degranulation channel formation. These global cellular changes occurred in a background of transient but significant (p < 0.01) increases in the area and number of chymase-immunoreactive vesicles per microns2 cytoplasm. These changes were detectable at 5 or 7 sec after stimulation with compound 48/80 but returned to near prestimulation levels by 9 or 10 sec after addition of compound 48/80 (total cumulative histamine release was 28% by 8 sec and 47% by 14 sec). These observations suggest that vesicles participate in the early stages of regulated secretion of chymase from rat peritoneal mast cells.

Abstract
A novel bioelectronic sensor is described in which living immune cells are transformed into unique biotransducer couples by engineering their molecular recognition for preselected antigens of clinical interest. This 'hybrid' biosensor, constructed with mast cells interfaced to a microfabricated thermoelectric device with the use of biomolecular linkages, is capable of detecting antigens in real time by transducing minute heat changes arising from antigen-induced mast cell activation processes. The thermoelectric approach was selected based upon preliminary bioenergetic calculations which indicated that metabolic changes arising from mast cell antigen recognition result in a significant increase in exothermic heat relative to basal metabolic conditions. Experimental studies confirmed that mast cell activation and degranulation can be discriminated theramally from basal metabolic activity. Results obtained from microcalorimetry experiments using cultured mast cells (MC/9) mucosal-like mast cell line), and harvested mast cells (rat peritoneal mast cells) indicated that detectable increases in heat output (-3 +/- 0.5 pW/cell, mean peak output) immediately followed cell activation. The construction of a miniature hybrid immunobiosensor device was made possible by bioelectronic coupling achieved with the use of cellular adhesive proteins that immobilized non-adherent (MC/9) cells as well as adherent (RBL-2H3 rat basophilic leukemia) cells to the thermopile. Results from preliminary tests conducted on a hybrid biosensor prototype validated the design feasibility of a miniature, living cell immunodiagnostic biosensor. Such cell-based hybrid biosensor approaches may greatly extend the capability for selective, rapid, on-site, antigen detection for a wide range of clinically relevant antigens and offer new approaches to in vitro diagnostics.

Abstract
Immune cells in vivo routinely perform highly selective immunosensing in blood and tissues as part of their normal immune surveillance functions. We have been investigating the potential of exploiting the immunosensing detection abilities of excitable immune cells (i.e. the mast cell) for the development of whole cell immunobiosensors. A key feature is that these immune cells can be selectively engineered to recognize specific antigens in vitro. In the presence of antigen, these cells undergo excitable activation responses which result in increased metabolism and the exocytosis of stored intracellular mediators. We have previously determined that mast cell metabolic responses can be thermally transduced in real time, thus indicating the possibility of whole cell thermoelectric immunobiosensing. In this work we investigated the use of enzyme amplification systems to enhance the direct transduction of immune cell responses to analyte. It was found that with appropriate enzymes, peak outputs occurred within approximately 5 min (4-20 times faster than without enzymes) and peak response magnitudes were up to nine-fold greater than without enzymes.

Abstract
1. The activity of the Na+/K(+)-pump in rat peritoneal mast cells was measured at various time intervals after induction of cellular histamine release by compound 48/80 or by the antigen-antibody reaction. The Na+/K(+)-pump activity was assessed as the ouabain-sensitive potassium uptake of the cells using 86Rb+ as a tracer for potassium (K+(86Rb+)-uptake). 2. Stimulation of the cells with compound 48/80 induced a time and concentration dependent increase of the Na+/K(+)-pump activity. The pump activity was maximal 2 min after stimulation of the cells. Then, the activity gradually decreased and reached a level not significantly different from the controls after 2 h of incubation. 3. When the cells were stimulated by the antigen-antibody reaction, there was also a rapid (within 5 min) stimulation of the Na+/K(+)-pump. In contrast to the stimulation with compound 48/80, the pump activity returned to the control level after 60 min of incubation with antigen. 4. The ouabain-resistant potassium uptake of the cells was increased after stimulation of the cells, regardless of the secretagogue used. This probably reflects the increased surface area of the cells present after the histamine release. 5. On the basis of the present results, we suggest a role for the Na+/K(+)-pump in the recovery process of the mast cell following histamine release.

Abstract
Fragments of rat mesentery were examined using acetylthiocholine to detect cholinergic nerve fibers and toluidine blue to identify mast cells. 59.2 +/- 2.6 percent of mast cells were at less than one-half mean cell diameter (4-5 microns), from the nerve fibers. Under the electron microscope, the membrane of mast cells was within less than 50 nm from axon membranes, suggesting a synaptic type of connection. Average mast cell area in fasted rats increased following feeding, stimulation of the left abdominal vagus nerve or exposure of the animal to the smell of food. It returned to control values within 60-80 min. Granule exocytosis was not observed. Mast cell swelling was prevented by atropine and induced by intravenously administered carbamylcholine. It appears that in rat mesentery, impulses travelling via cholinergic, parasympathetic fibers innervating mast cells, cause mast cell swelling. Compound 48/80 administered to rats at doses causing little degranulation and minimum release of histamine, caused extensive, reversible swelling of mesentery mast cells.

Abstract
We have used fast differential ramp voltammetry with carbon-fibre electrodes to monitor exocytotic secretion in single rat mast cells. The oxidation peak and other aspects of the electrochemical profile of the substance released were similar to those of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and the signals were increased by preloading the secretory granules with exogenous 5-HT. Metabolic blockade inhibited both visible degranulation and the electrochemical signal. For comparison, quinacrine, which is fluorescent and accumulates in secretory vesicles, was used as an alternative means of detecting secretion in single cells. The amplitude of the electrochemical signals observed during degranulation correlated well with the loss of quinacrine fluorescence. Both methods were used to record successive rounds of secretion in single mast cells in response to repeated applications of compound 48/80.

Abstract
The presence of excess membrane has been observed in the secretory granules of mast cells activated via the physiological mechanism of IgE receptor-mediated exocytosis. This excess membrane is the result of a de novo assembly from phospholipid, cholesterol, and other membrane components stored in the matrix of the quiescent granule. Following receptor stimulation, membrane bilayer structures of varying size and shape can be seen in the subperigranular membrane space where the perigranular membrane has lifted away from the granule matrix. Vesicles as small as 25 nm in outer diameter are frequently found beneath the perigranular membrane at the site of granule fusion. Membrane in the form of elongated vesicles, tubes, or sheets has also been observed. The wide variation in size and shape of the newly assembled membrane may reflect the spontaneity of the entropy-driven membrane generation process and the fluid characteristic of the biological membrane in general. Fusion of the newly assembled membrane with the perigranular membrane enables the activated granule to enlarge. This rapid expansion process of the perigranular membrane may be the principal mechanism by which an activated granule can achieve contact with the plasma membrane in order to generate pore formation. The fact that new membrane assembly also occurs in the IgE receptor-mediated granule exocytosis, supports our observation that de novo membrane generation is an inherent step in the mechanism of mast cell granule exocytosis. Whether new membrane assembly is a common step in the mechanism of secretory granule exocytosis in general, must await careful reinvestigation of other secretory systems.

Abstract
The present study was made on an experimental animal model of a death from anaphylaxis, in which postmortem changes in levels of histamine and 1-methylhistamine, in whole blood were measured. Instead of the usual immunological method administering compound 48/80, a degranulating agent of mast cell and the effect closely resembling the immuno-reaction, resulted in reliable death in a short time. The animals that died rapidly after the injection of compound 48/80, were found to have large increases in levels of histamine and 1-methylhistamine soon after the administration. These results were similar to the results of injecting histamine exogenously. On the other hand, the animals that died after a longer time showed no increases in levels of those amines within about 24 h, but 24 hours after death histamine levels were only increased tremendously without rise in 1-MHA levels. These phenomena closely resembled those in the control animals that were treated with overdoses of Nembutal.

Abstract
Transitory swelling of mesenteric mast cells was observed when 24 h-fasted rats were given access to food. Atropine, an anti-muscarinic drug given (1 mg/kg, i.p.) 60 min prior to feeding, prevented this response; carbachol, a cholinomimetic drug caused it to occur when given (2 micrograms/kg, i.v., 10 min) to fasted rats. Mast cells in the mesentery excised from fasted rats, presented swelling in vitro within 1 min following exposure to 10(-7) M carbachol. This response was inhibited by atropine (10(-8) M) or hexamethonium (10(-8) M), indicating that stimulation of a parasympathetic nerve pathway, reported to exist in rat mesentery, could induce mast cell swelling. Exposure to a Ca2+ free medium also led to rapid swelling of mast cells in the mesentery excised from fasted rats. This result, as well as inhibition of the mast cell response to carbachol caused by increasing the Ca2+ (but not by increasing the Mg2+) content of the incubation medium, suggests that swelling was caused by a sudden decrease of Ca at mast cell membrane sites controlling ion/water fluxes. Mast cells swollen by feeding, carbachol or Ca-lack, reverted to their original condition within 20 min when incubated in balanced salt buffer. Such reversal did not occur in a KCl-enriched medium. An equivalent (in terms of ionic strength), increase in NaCl, did not reproduce this effect, indicating that mast cells have K+-dependent means of compensating for endogenously or drug-induced volume changes. Swelling caused by cholinergic stimulation of mast cells was not accompanied by granule exocytosis.2+ carbachol-treated rat blood in vivo or in vitro, is discussed in terms of putative mast cell-controlled, localized homeostasis in the rat mesentery.

Abstract
1. The relation between the energy metabolism and the secretory activity of rat peritoneal mast cells has been studied by determination of the cellular content of ATP and the rate of lactate production reflecting the rate of ATP synthesis under various experimental conditions. Secretion of histamine was induced by the antigen-antibody reaction, the polymeric amine compound 48/80, and the divalent ionophore A23187. 2. In presence of low concentrations of metabolic inhibitors (oligomycin or antimycin A) a linear relation between the secretion of histamine induced by all three liberators and the cellular ATP content at the time of cell activation was demonstrated. This may indicate a direct link between ATP and the secretory mechanism. 3. The possibility of an increased utilization of ATP during histamine secretion was explored in mast cells exposed to metabolic inhibitors. Incubation of mast cells with 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) decreased the ATP content of the cells, and a long-lasting and stable level of mast cell ATP was observed. This is explained by a small decrease in the rate of ATP-synthesis by 2-DG. In 2-DG-treated cells secretion of histamine in response to compound 48/80 or the antigen-antibody reaction could still occur, and the secretion is shown to be associated with a decrease of the cellular ATP level. This ATP decrease indicates that secretion occurs by an ATP-requiring mechanism, that causes an increased cellular utilization of ATP in association with the secretory response. 4. The possibility has been considered that increased cytosol concentration of calcium in association with secretion may decrease the rate of ATP-synthesis due to accumulation of calcium by the mitochondria. This possibility can be excluded by the observation that in presence of respiratory inhibitors an identical ATP decrease was found during the secretion as in the case of the glycolytic inhibitor alone. This indicates that increased utilization of ATP by the cells was related directly to the secretory response. This observation was made with all three secretagogues. 5. A quantitative evaluation of the increased amount of ATP utilized by the cells in relation to the secretory response was performed by use of metabolic inhibitors. The ATP requirement of compound 48/80-induced secretion was 0.15 pmol/10(3) cells. This was observed when the ATP-synthesis was decreased to a negligible value.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Secretory granules have been observed to swell during the process of exocytosis. Swelling is an indication of osmotic stress. The probable role of osmotic pressure in facilitating membrane fusion makes it necessary to determine whether granule membrane 'swelling' can occur prior to its fusion with the plasma membrane (pore formation) in the process of exocytosis. By subjecting adjacent thin and semi-thin sections of an activated granule to ultrastructural examination for membrane enlargement, and to metachromatic staining for verification of pore formation it is concluded that the perigranular membrane can indeed enlarge prior to pore formation. However, the degree of membrane enlargement can far exceed the limit of 2-3% stretching allowed under normal osmotic stress for a membrane bilayer. Such an extensive membrane enlargement, which takes place in the mechanism of exocytosis, cannot be achieved without being accompanied by the insertion of additional membrane.

Abstract
Rat peritoneal fluid mast cell present parallel increases in cell area (swelling), and in hydrolytic activity on the trypsin substrate p-tosyl arginine methyl ester (TAME), when placed in Tris buffers of concentrations between 0.15 and 0.03 M. Under these conditions, cells do not degranulate and preserve their trypsin-like enzyme activity after low speed centrifugation. Exposure to more dilute Tris buffers, between 0.015 and 0.003 M, leads to cell rupture accompanied by progressive degranulation and loss of activity on TAME. Protamine, a heparin antagonist prevented this loss when added to mast cells prior to hyposmotic lysis, or lysis by sonication or repeated periods of freezing and thawing. Enzyme activity released in the presence of protamine was fully recovered in supernates of cell lysates submitted to low speed centrifugation. Controlled swelling of mast cells propitiates the expression of trypsin-like activity, possibly by facilitating enzyme-substrate interaction. Cell lysis on the contrary, leads to inactivation of such activity, possibly by enzyme binding to heparin in exposed mast cell granules.

Abstract
Calmodulin content and distribution in rat peritoneal mast cells was determined by radioimmunoassay. Isolated pure mast cells were disrupted by sonication and the total calmodulin content and its distribution were determined. Calmodulin bound to the membranes was released by heating with 0.1% Lubrol PX to 95 degrees C for 5 min. The total calmodulin content of mast cells was found to be 160 +/- 14 ng/10(6) cells (9.4 +/- 0.82 pmoles/10(6) cells). The highest amount (68%) was present in the supernatant representing the cytosol. The next highest amount (26%) was found in the composite fraction consisting of mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi vesicles and plasma membrane (100,000 g pellet). The mast cell granules contained 4% of the total calmodulin. Trifluoperazine (TFP) was used as an antagonist to explore the role of calmodulin in histamine secretion. At 10 microM concentration, TFP caused a negligible spontaneous histamine release by its membrane effect. TFP (10 microM) inhibited histamine release by all the three secretagogues used, but the degree of inhibition varied: 60% with antigen, 40% with compound 48/80 and 20% with ionophore A23187. It is suggested that the TFP effect is due to calmodulin-antagonism and interference with the activation of enzymes, essential to the secretory process.

Abstract
The kinetics of Ca2+ uptake and efflux have been measured in rat peritoneal mast cells stimulated with compound 48/80 using rapid mixing and a silicone oil centrifugation technique. Responses at one-second time intervals were resolved beginning as early as three seconds after initial stimulation. The results clearly demonstrate that Ca2+ uptake occurs after the initiation of histamine release. Ca2+ efflux occurs simultaneously with histamine release. The implications of these findings are discussed and the technique is described.

Abstract
Electron microscopic observations suggest that venom from isolated nematocysts of the stinging tentacles of the Portuguese man-of-war, Physalia physalis, causes histamine release via a rapid, short-duration exocytosis of granules and a slower, long-duration lysis of mast cells. Fine structural changes in mast cells are concurrent with histamine release and are independent of the presence of leukocytes. Vesiculation of the plasma membrane and release of granules nearest the cell surface occur within 10 sec after exposure to 100 micrograms venom/10(5) cells. Released granules and granules retained in plasma membrane invaginations are fibrous and less electron opaque than more centrally located granules. Complex channels to the external medium continue to form, and within 1 min, characteristics of both degranulation and cytolysis are well advanced. Mitochondria are swollen or disrupted. Microridges are absent. Intracellular granules are significantly fewer in venom-treated mast cells, but are more widely separated than in controls. This suggests that degranulation occurs at early stages but is halted as cytolysis proceeds.

Abstract
The effect of N-methylphosphatidylethanolamine on phase transition and the fluidity of the liposomes made of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine or phosphatidylethanolamine was studied by the steady-state fluorescence polarization method and differential scanning calorimetry. N-methylation of phosphatidylethanolamine caused a decrease of fluidity of liposomes made of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine, but had little effect on dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine. The liposomes prepared with both phosphatidylcholine and N-methylphosphatidylethanolamine and also phosphatidylethanolamine and N-methylphosphatidylethanolamine could be composed of solid solution and exhibited symmetric phase diagram.

Abstract
The fluorescent cationic dye berberine in combination with histamine release studies have been used to explore the different steps of the mast cell secretory process. We have previously shown that quantitation of heparin release by the binding of berberine to fixed mast cells can be used as a direct measure of release of granules. This report summarizes recent work using berberine as a vital stain demonstrating the secretory activity of mast cells. After membrane stabilization with polyethylene glycol (PEG) normal mast cells exclude the dye while mast cells stimulated to secretion with polymyxin B show a strongly fluorescent dye binding to individual cytoplasmic granules. The mean fluorescence intensity of the cell populations after vital berberine staining was compared both to heparin and histamine release. The results strongly suggest that berberine, under the vital staining conditions used, is a marker of intracellular granules that have released histamine. The vital staining method was also used to study membrane events following a polymyxin B-induced secretion. The mean fluorescence intensity decreased by 75% during the first hour after the termination of a polymyxin B stimulation while the mast cell content of histamine and heparin remained constant. The findings support the idea that the membranes are rapidly restored after mast cell secretion, permitting a selective amine release without accompanying release of heparin or other matrix components of the granules.

Abstract
The purine nucleosides adenosine and 2',5'-dideoxyadenosine (2',5'ddAdo) enhance and inhibit respectively the anti-IgE-induced secretion of histamine and transient rise in cellular levels of cyclic AMP in rat mast cells. These findings have provided evidence for a role for cyclic AMP in the activation of mast cell secretion. It has been generally accepted that the nucleosides mediate their effects on mast cells by altering adenylate cyclase activity. We have investigated the effect of various purine and ribose modified analogues of adenosine on secretion of histamine from rat mast cells induced by ionophore A23187 for which there is no associated elevation in cyclic AMP and no evidence for the activation of adenylate cyclase in its mechanism of action. Adenosine and N6, phenylisopropyladenosine (0.01-1000 microM) (activators of adenylate cyclase in many tissues) enhanced the secretion of histamine induced by ionophore A23187 and anti-IgE. Two inhibitors of adenylate cyclase had differential effects on secretion. 2',5'ddAdo (100-1000 microM) inhibited both A23187-and anti-IgE-mediated secretion; whilst 9-beta-D-arabinofuranosyladenine had no effect on secretion. These results suggest that the ability of these nucleosides to modulate histamine secretion is unrelated to their effects on adenylate cyclase.

Abstract
The adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content of rat mast cells and their lactate production were measured during and after secretion of histamine induced by compound 48/80. Antimycin A and oligomycin were used to block oxidative ATP synthesis, and 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) was used to block glycolytic ATP synthesis. Histamine secretion was completed after 10 sec. exposure of the cells to compound 48/80. During that time period there was an increased ATP-utilization of 0.15 pmol/10(3) cells. After completion of the secretory process there seemed to be an enhanced utilization of ATP of 0.40 pmol/10(3) cells/min., which may be associated with recovery of the cells.

Abstract
The role of cyclic AMP in the secretory mechanism of mast cells has been investigated by comparing the time course of changes in cellular levels of this cyclic nucleotide with the kinetics of secretion induced by basic peptides, antigen, anti-IgE and calcium ionophore. ACTH(1-24) peptide and a synthetic decapeptide representative of the sequence 497-506 within the C epsilon 4 domain of human IgE induced a transient rise in cyclic AMP which reached approx. 150% of the resting levels by 10 s. Peptide-induced secretion of histamine was also rapid, reaching a maximum after 5-10 s. Immunological triggering of mast cells with antigen and anti-IgE raised levels of cyclic AMP to 150% of resting levels within 15 s, accompanying secretion of histamine which reached a maximum after 30 s. A relatively slower release of histamine induced by the calcium ionophore A23187 was paralleled by a significant reduction in cyclic AMP to 50% of the resting levels after 300 s. These data suggest a relationship between the accumulation of cyclic AMP in mast cells and secretion of histamine mediated by the C epsilon 4 decapeptide and the ACTH(1-24) peptide as well as by IgE-dependent mechanisms. However, the simultaneous increase in cyclic AMP and secretion of histamine suggests that the two events may not be causally related.

Abstract
Histidine decarboxylase activity in rat peritoneal mast cells is depressed temporarily after histamine secretion induced by antigen in sensitized cells or by compound 48/80. Recovery starts after 10 min. and the enzyme activity is completely restored in about 1-2 hours. There is no stimulation of the enzyme activity upto 4 hours after the exposure to the releaser. The enzyme activity shows more prolonged depression after histamine release induced by inonophore A23187 probably because of leakage of the cytoplasmic enzyme. Inspite of the loss of some granules from the mast cells, histamine uptake is enhanced during the first two hours apparently due to the uptake into the granule matrices in the compound exocytotic vacuoles. These granules remain within the cell, but the release of endogenous histamine to the extracellular fluid during secretion makes the binding sites available for histamine uptake. There is no indication of increased histamine production during the period of observation, viz. up to 6 hours after the secretion. The heparin content is reduced during the first two hours due to the loss of granules from the cells, but this is restored during 4-6 hours by increasing synthetic activity. Heparin synthesis is reduced to about 40% of the normal value during the first 4 hours, and is practically restored to normal during 4-6 hours.

Abstract
The mechanism of histamine release from rat mast cells by whole venom from Solenopsis geminata and S. invicta or by 2-methyl-6-undecylpiperidine HCl (C11) was investigated. Histamine release stimulated by one or more of these agents (1) occurred in normal and metabolically inactivated cells, (2) had a biphasic time course in normal and inactivated cells, (3) was temperature dependent and did not occur at 0 degrees C, (4) was accompanied by concomitant cytoplasmic enzyme release, (5) was accomplished by substantial cell swelling, and (6) was correlated with a loss of cell refractility in phase contrast microscopy. These results indicate that C11 causes initial permeability changes in the plasma membrane followed by lytic release of histamine and other cell components. The nonspecific nature of this action of the dialkylpiperidine component of the venoms provides the fire ants with a defense of general applicability.

Abstract
The relation between anaphylactic histamine release and the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content of the mast cells was studied. The cells were incubated with glycolytic (2-deoxyglucose) and respiratory inhibitors (antimycin A and oligomycin) in order to decrease the ATP content of the cells prior to initiation of the release process by the antigen-antibody reaction. The secretory capacity of mast cells was less related to the cellular level of ATP at the time of activation of the release process by the antigen-antibody reaction than to the rate of cellular energy supply. Furthermore, mast cells were pretreated with 2-deoxyglucose. The release of histamine from these cells was reduced when respiratory inhibitors were added to the cell suspension 5 to 20 sec after exposure of the cells to antigen. This may indicate that the secretory process requires energy, and it seems necessary that energy should be produced as the release of histamine takes place.

Abstract
Regeneration of rat mast cells was studied by TEM from 10 s to 48 h after secretion of histamine induced by compound 48/80. During the first 2 h, small intracellular cavities, formed during compound exocytosis and containing non-membrane-bound remnants of the granules, tended to coalesce, and after 2 h of incubation regeneration started. After 6 h, all the cavities had fused into one large central cavity which contained the remnants of the granules and remained open to the exterior during the entire period. The plasma membrane microfolds which disappeared just after secretion were reformed during regeneration. They were apparently involved in endocytotic-like activity and coated vesicles also appeared beneath the plasmalemma (membrane recycling?). The fate of the granule remnants in the cavity is unknown, as regeneration was not completed after 48 h which is the longest survival time obtained so far in ultrastructural studies of mast cell regeneration in vitro.

Abstract
Histamine release from isolated rat mast cells from non-immunized and immunized Hooded Lister rats was induced by compound 48/80. The histamine release was decreased with a lower maximum at the optimal concentration of 48/80 when using cells from immunized rats compared to non-immunized control rats. The stimulation of IgE antibody production, after immunization using B. pertussis as an adjuvant was also accompanied by an elevation of total serum IgW. The 48/80 induced histamine release from Sprague Dawley mast cells was not inhibited by immunization. Non-antibody IgE showed a non-competitive inhibition of 48/80 induced histamine release when myeloma IgE was incubated with mast cells from both Hooded Lister and Sprague Dawley rats. The results indicate the existence of different receptors for IgE and 48/80.

Abstract
Isolated rat mast cells were used to study whether ionophore A23187 could induce histamine release by mobilizing cellular calcium. The histamine release was a slow process which was completed after about 20 min incubation with A23187. The A23187-induced histamine release was inhibited after incubation of the cells with EDTA for 1 h in a 37 degrees C water bath in calcium-free medium. Reintroduction of calcium in excess of EDTA induced the release of histamine. The observations suggest that A23187 can induce histamine release by mobilizing a cellular pool of calcium.

Abstract
The mechanism of the histamine-liberating action of the synthetic polypeptide C 44 680-Ba, an alkyl-prolyl derivative of beta 1-19 corticotrophin, was investigated and compared with those of Compound 48/80, dextran, Melittin and Triton X-100. It was found that the release of histamine from rat peritoneal cells induced by the polypeptide is dependent on temperature, pH, calcium ions and energy-providing processes. In regard to these criteria, the mode of action of this histamine liberator resembles that of Compound 48/80 but is quite distinct from that of the unspecific substance Triton X-100.

Abstract
Mast cells from the peritoneal and pleural cavities of actively sensitized rats were isolated and incubated with biogenic amines (5-hydroxytryptamine and dopamine) with or without pretreatment with specific antigen. An anaphylactic reaction resulting in the release of 20-25% of the histamine in the cells led to a slightly reduced amine uptake. At concentrations which induced histamine release comparable to that during the anaphylactic reaction compound 48/80 had a similar effect on the uptake of the two amines. Histamine release induced by higher concentrations of compound 48/80 led to a more pronounced reduction in the uptake of the amines, the reduction being roughly proportional to the extent of the histamine release. It is concluded that the reduction in the in vitro amine uptake after anaphylactic and compound 48/80-induced histamine release is due to the fact that there are a fewer intact granules capable of storing histamine and not primarily due to a damage to the mechanisms by which mast cells take up biogenic amines in vitro. The observations further strengthen the view that anaphylactic and compound 48/80-induced histamine release are non-cytolytic processes.

Abstract
The present paper describes an ultrastructural study of two different kinds of behavior of mouse mast cells during two immunological reactions induced by transplantation antibodies: the direct allogeneic anaphylactic degranulation and the serocytotoxicity. In both situations, the same alloantigens, born by the mast cells themselves, are the targets of the reaction, but the first one is mediated by anaphylactic alloantibodies whereas the second one is mediated by cytotoxic alloantibodies in the presence of complement. The comparison of the ultrastructural aspects of the cells in these two systems demonstrated that mast cells can behave in two different ways depending on the nature of the immunological agents utilized. First, a physiological degranulation process with active granule expulsion was observed. This process was shown to be identical to the one induced in classical in vitro anaphylaxis or by histamine releasers such as compound 48/80. A second type of behavior was a lethal, complement-dependent, cell lysis without active granule expulsion.

Abstract
The subcellular localization of histamine was studied in sensitized rat mast cells following antigen challenge and in granules obtained from sonicated cells, using an electron microscope autoradiographic technique. The mast cells were furnished with labelled histamine by incubation in 3-H-histidine. The silver grain distribution (reflecting the radioactive histamine) was highly non-random. The highest silver grain densities occured over homogeneous, electron dense (normal) granules and moderately electron dense granules. Swollen, less electron dense ("changed") granules with a reticular appearance and devoid of a limiting membrane had the lowest density of all subcellular structures studied and were therefore probably almost free of histamine. There was a good correlation between the percentage of electron dense granules, the histamine content and the silver grain density insaline-washed granule fractions isolated after sonication of mast cells for different times. These results support the hypothesis that histamine release occurs during the sequential exocytosis of storage granules, and during the sonication of mast cells, probably as a cation exchange between the amine, which is ionically bound to the heparin-protein complex of the granule matrix, and cations from the extracellular fluid. The exchanges will occur as soon as the perigranular membrane becomes premeable to water and cations.

Abstract
The ATP content of rat peritoneal mast cells has been studied in relation to histamine release induced by compound 48/80 and antigen-antibody (anaphylactic) reaction in vitro. When the ATP content of actively sensitized mast cells was reduced to different levels by oligomycin, a good correlation was obtained between the ATP levels and the amounts of histamine released by the anaphylactic reaction. A similar linear relation has previously been demonstrated between the ATP levels of mast cells and histamine release induced by compound 48/80. The ATP content of mast cells was also studied at different intervals after the exposure of the cells to antigen or compound 48/80. No significant change in the ATP content was observed in untreated mast cells during the short period when histamine release occurs. If, however, the mast cells were preincubated with oligomycin or 2-deoxyglucose to reduce the rate of ATP synthesis while a large part of the histamine release remained unaffected-a decrease in the ATP content could be demonstrated in close time relation to both anaphylactic and compound 48/80-induced histamine release. The observations indicate an increased utilization of ATP in mast cells during the release process.
