Histaminase activity was estimated by the coupled oxidation and deamination method in lung tissue from rats and mice followrng adrenal gland x irradiation, sensitization with B. pertussis, or pertussis sensitization followed by adrenal gland irradiation. Histamine activity was greatly reduced in lung tissue from animals sensitized with pertussis followed by adrenal irradiation, moderately reduced in lung tissue from pertussis sensitized animals, and slightly decreased in lung tissue from the adrenal irradiated group. The activity of succinoxidose and monoamine oxidose in lung tissue was not affected by either adrenal irradiation or pertussis sensitization. The possibility that steroid hormone balance may be affected by disturbance of the adrenal glands in animals sensitized with pertussis is discussed. (C.H.)
