In vitro Tests: Basophil Activation Tests
In recent years, the quantification of basophil activation by flow cytometry (basophil activation test, BAT) has proven to be a useful tool for the assessment of immediate-type responses to allergens mediated by IgE or other mechanisms in drug-allergic patients. To date, most BAT studies reported in the literature have used CD69 or CD203c as markers to quantify basophil activation after antigen...

متن کاملBasophil Activation Tests: A Diagnostic Break-Through in Opiate Allergy
416 http://e-aair.org We have read the manuscript about codeine (3-methylmorphine) anaphylaxis by Yoo et al. with great interest and would like to take the opportunity to raise some issues and communicate our experience. As recently reviewed, despite their frequent and ubiquitous use, genuine IgE-mediated allergy to opiates remains exceedingly rare. Also, correct diagnosis is not straightforwar...
متن کاملBasophil Activation Tests Based on CD193 Marker in Dipyrone Allergy
414 http://e-aair.org I recently read the article Threshold for Positivity and Optimal Dipyrone Concentration in Flow Cytometry-Assisted Basophil Activation Test by Hagau et al., in the August 2013 issue of AAIR, where the authors assessed the usefulness of basophil activation tests (BATs) in the diagnosis of allergy to dipyrone. Allergy to dipyrone still represents a main concern and pyrazolon...
متن کاملExpression of Basophil Activation Markers in Pediatric Asthma
Background: Asthma is very common in children and its diagnosis is based on clinical manifestations, which can be misdiagnosed as other respiratory diseases with similar signs and symptoms. Objective: To analyze the expression of ST2L and CD203c in the diagnosis of pediatric asthma. Methods: Basophils were purified from whole blood samples of patients and healthy controls using Ficol-Paque grad...
