[Amino acid composition of the lymph and blood in allergic transformations of the body].

The time-course of changes in the content of free amino acids and total protein in lymph of the thoracic duct and peripheral blood was studied in dogs during sensitization and anaphylactic shock (AS). Allergic rearrangement of the body during AS was accompanied by considerable disorders in redistribution of free amino acids in body fluids (blood, interstitial fluid and lymph). It is assumed that changes in the quantitative ratios occurring between individual amino acids during metabolic processes under sensitization are likely to cause protein biosynthesis disorders in the body experiencing allergic rearrangement.
