Abstrakt: To better define involvement of mast cell derived mediators in the pulmonary response to fibrogenic dusts, a rapid and accurate method was required to analyze samples of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid for histamine. Samples of rat lung lavage were analyzed for histamine via high-performance cation-exchange chromatography coupled with post-column derivatization with o-phthaldialdehyde. The fluorescent derivative could be detected to ca. 1 ng/ml of lavage. Recoveries averaged 94.2% with an average relative standard deviation of +/- 5.3%. There were no correlations between amount or fibrogenicity of inhaled dust and subsequent release of histamine into lavage fluid.
