Adenosine 3'5'-monophosphate: inhibition of complement-mediated cell lysis
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|February 15, 1974
Abstract:
An increase in adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) in rat mast cells, achieved by stimulating the cells with prostaglandin E(1), by preventing cyclic AMP breakdown with aminophylline, or by adding exogenous dibutyryl cyclic AMP, prevented complement-mediated cytolysis as assessed by both histamine release and vital dye exclusion. Dibutyryl cyclic AMP also suppressed water-induced osmotic lysis.
