Esk. Assem, LEUKOTRIENE-C4 RELEASE FROM BLOOD-CELLS INVITRO IN PATIENTS WITH ANAPHYLACTOID REACTIONS TO NEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKERS, Agents and actions, 38, 1993, pp. 242-244
Leukotrienes C4, D4, E4 (LT) were released from blood cells in vitro i
n patients with anaphylactoid reaction (AR) to neuromuscular blockers
(NMB). This occurred even in those with negative antibody tests, sugge
sting a role for LT in AR and a useful addition to in vitro tests for
diagnosis, study of mechanism and cross-reaction between NMB.
