چکیده

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 gradient and basophil isolation kit. rna extraction was done by rnx-plus solution and after synthesis of cdna, the gene expression was analyzed by means of real time pcr. results: patients expressed significantly higher levels of cd203c than healthy controls (p=0.01). although there was an increase in the transcription level of st2l gene in patients, the results were not statistically significant compared to those obtained from the healthy controls (p>0.05). a specificity of 60% and a sensitivity of 73% were foundusing roc curve for cd203c expression. patients with positive family history of asthma exhibited more cd203c and st2l expression (p

Optimizing of the basophil activation test: Comparison of different basophil identification markers.

BACKGROUND Flowcytometric identification of basophils is a prerequisite for measuring activation of basophils with IgE-dependent or IgE-independent stimuli. Aim of this study was to compare different marker combinations in a simultaneous multicolor flowcytometric measurement. METHODS Ten patients with a grass pollen allergy and three controls were included in the study. Basophilic cells were ...

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...

Commentary: The Expression of CD123 Can Decrease with Basophil Activation: Implications for the Gating Strategy of the Basophil Activation Test

BACKGROUND Basophil activation test (BAT) reproduces IgE-mediated allergic reactions in vitro and has been used as a diagnostic test. Different markers can be used to identify basophils in whole blood and have implications for the outcome of the test. We aimed to assess changes in the expression of CD123 and HLA-DR following basophil activation and to select the best gating strategy for BAT usi...
