Abstract
This investigation was undertaken at the suggestion of Dr. Bram Rose in order to assess what happens to the histamine content of human nasal mucous membrane during allergic raction. In previous work carried out by Rose, Entin and Baxter (1951) on the histamine content of various human tissues, several high values (101 and 140 Y per gram) were obtained on antral mucous membrane from allergic individuals. The exact significance of such findings was not clear.
