The role of histamine in physiological and pathological states has not been fully elucidated. In the pathological state histamine release can be induced by several mechanisms. The most frequent events are IgE-mediated release, complement-mediated release and release by chemical agents. During inflammation histamine is set free and contributes to the course of inflammatory processes, either enhancing or inhibiting inflammatory reactions. In order to look for a target in the glomerulum we examined H2 receptor binding to isolated glomerular cells using 3H-cimetidine as ligand. Two binding sites were detected, a low affinity site with a kD = 6.3 microM and a high affinity site exhibiting a kD = 0.18 microM. These findings are comparable to properties of 3H-cimetidine receptor binding to brain membranes.
