Basophil Activation Test for Chronic Urticaria
Dear Editor, Zehwan Kim et al, [1] presented a protocol to assay basophil activation by flow cytometry (FC) that included a phenotyping panel with CD123 and CD193 (CC chemokine receptor-3 [CCR3]). This method for the electronic capture of basophils in whole blood, never published before,raises some interesting questions. CCR3 (CD193), the eotaxin receptor, is commonly present in CD3-expressing ...
متن کاملBasophil Activation Test with Food Additives in Chronic Urticaria Patients
The role of food additives in chronic urticaria (CU) is still under investigation. In this study, we aimed to explore the association between food additives and CU by using the basophil activation test (BAT). The BAT using 15 common food additives was performed for 15 patients with CU who had a history of recurrent urticarial aggravation following intake of various foods without a definite food...
متن کاملIncreased Level of Basophil CD203c Expression Predicts Severe Chronic Urticaria
Increased FcεR1α expression with upregulated CD203c expression on peripheral basophils is seen in patients with chronic urticaria (CU). However, there has been no published report on the association between CD203c expression level and clinical disease activity in CU patients. To investigate whether the increase of basophil activation is associated with the disease activity of CU, we measured ba...
متن کاملA positive serum basophil histamine release assay is a marker for ciclosporin-responsiveness in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria
The electronic records of 398 patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) who had had a serum basophil histamine release assay (BHRA) performed as a marker of functional autoantibodies were audited. The BHRA was positive in 105 patients (26.4%). Fifty eight were treated with ciclosporin because they were H1 anti-histamine unresponsive. CSU patients with a positive BHRA were more likely to...
