Basophil Markers for Identification and Activation in the Indirect Basophil Activation Test by Flow Cytometry for Diagnosis of Autoimmune Urticaria
BACKGROUND The indirect basophil activation test using flow cytometry is a promising tool for autoimmune urticaria diagnosis. We aimed to identify better donor basophils (from atopic vs. non-atopic donors and interleukin-3 primed vs. unprimed basophils) and improve basophil identification and activation markers (eotaxin CC chemokine receptor-3 [CCR3] vs. CD123 and CD63 vs. CD203c). METHODS Do...
متن کاملComparison of two basophil activation markers CD63 and CD203c in the diagnosis of amoxicillin allergy.
BACKGROUND To confirm allergy to beta-lactam (BL), a basophil activation test in flow cytometry based on CD63 up-regulation was described. CD203c is a more recent basophil activation marker and up to day there is no consensus about which marker is the more sensitive one. CD203c has not yet been evaluated in the diagnosis of BL allergy. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to compare the reliabi...
متن کاملLysis with Saponin improves detection of the response through CD203c and CD63 in the basophil activation test after crosslinking of the high affinity IgE receptor FcεRI
BACKGROUND The basophil activation test (BAT), in which translocation of markers to the surface of blood basophils is measured in response to allergen by flow cytometry, is a rapid assay that is gaining popularity. Two markers are currently being evaluated for the BAT; CD63 and the lineage-specific CD203c. In a recent report, detection of CD203c after lysis with Saponin was shown to be superior...
متن کاملReply to the Letter to the Editor by Dr. Chirumbolo
Dear Editor, We are grateful to Dr. Chirumbolo for the letter in response to our paper describing a basophil activation test for chronic urticaria [1, 2]. We agree with most of the issues raised by Dr. Chirumbolo, but some points need to be addressed. The non-atopic donors in our study were adults, not infants. Among 3-5 healthy individuals with blood group O, one with a high basophil count was...
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...
