The Paul Kallós Memorial Lecture. From slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis to leukotriene C4 synthase

Int Arch Allergy Immunol. 1995 May-Jun;107(1-3):19-24. doi: 10.1159/000236919.

Abstract

The hypothesis of 35 years ago that slowreacting substance of anaphylaxis would prove to be a pathobiologic mediator of reversible airway disease in the human has been validated. The multidisciplinary approach required to achieve this goal has been particularly prominent and consistent for the entire period in the program described in this presentation.
