1 Histamine enhances granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and interleukin-6 production by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Histamine colony stimulating factor 2 Homo sapiens
2 Using ELISA and radioimmunoassay kits, histamine was found to enhance the production of GM-CSF (9.6-fold) and IL-6 (8.2-fold) by mononuclear cells but not by nonadherent cells or large granular lymphocytes. Histamine colony stimulating factor 2 Homo sapiens
3 Anti-GM-CSF and anti-IL-6 antibodies markedly blocked cytokine activity in CM-PBS, whereas the blocking effect in CM-histamine was moderate, indicating enhanced GM-CSF and IL-6 activity in CM-histamine. Histamine colony stimulating factor 2 Homo sapiens
4 We conclude that histamine is able to activate human mononuclear cells to generate cytokines such as GM-CSF and IL-6 via H1 and H2 receptors. Histamine colony stimulating factor 2 Homo sapiens
