  Figure Representative plot CD63 appearance and histamine release in response to buffer, anti-IgE as a positive control, pholcodine 10 µg/mL (top), and the structurally almost similar opiates codeine 100 mg/mL and morphine 100 µg/mL (both bottom) (From9: with permission). Intracellular histamine and its release is analyzed flow cytometrically by an enzyme affinity method using the histaminase diamine oxidase (DAO) conjugated to laser-excitable fluorochromes.10
