Anaphylactic shock induced in rabbits by the preliminary injury of various areas of the medial hypothalamus coursed more severly than in control. Irrespective of the localization of the foci of injury a more pronounced hypotensive reaction and a slower compensatory elevation of the blood pressure occurred in response to the administration of the reactive dose of the antigen. The severity of anaphylactic shock depended on the time lapse from the moment of hypothalamic injury to the moment of administration of the reactive dose of the antigen.
