Low molecular weight thymic factor inhibits histamine release from basophils
نویسندگان
چکیده
Low molecular weight thymic factor stimulates the suppressor function of T-lymphocytes, increases cAMP content (but not cGMP) in lymphocytes and inhibits histamine release from sensitized basophils. The mechanisms of LTF action are discussed.

The effects of dasatinib on IgE receptor-dependent activation and histamine release in human basophils.
Dasatinib is a multitargeted drug that blocks several tyrosine kinases. Apart from its well-known antileukemic activity, the drug has attracted attention because of potential immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory effects. We report that dasatinib at 1 microM completely blocks anti-IgE-induced histamine release in blood basophils in healthy donors, and allergen-induced release of histamine in ...
متن کاملActivation of basophil and mast cell histamine release by eosinophil granule major basic protein
Major basic protein (MBP) is a primary constituent of eosinophil granules. In this report, we demonstrate that MBP from human eosinophil granules initiates a nonlytic histamine release from human leukocytes. A direct effect of MBP on basophils was confirmed using purified human basophils. The kinetics of release were similar to those reported for poly-L-arginine, although MBP was less potent th...
متن کاملThe calcium antagonist, nicardipine, inhibits antigen-stimulated and anti-IgE-induced histamine release from basophilic leucocytes of atopic asthmatics.
The inhibitory effect of nicardipine, a calcium antagonist, on the antigen- and anti-IgE-induced histamine release from basophilic leucocytes of patients with bronchial asthma was examined. The agent significantly inhibited both antigen-stimulated and anti-IgE-induced histamine release from basophils (the maximum percent inhibition was 57.8 +/- 7.2% and 56.0 +/- 8.8%, respectively). Pre-incubat...
متن کاملEffect of a serum factor on IgE-mediated histamine release from whole blood.
IgE-mediated histamine release from whole blood was analyzed in 44 patients with bronchial asthma by observing maximum present release and dose-response curves of histamine release induced by anti-IgE and house dust extract. The maximum histamine release from whole blood induced by anti-IgE correlated with total serum IgE levels. There was a close correlation between allergen-induced release fr...
متن کاملDifferential modulation of mediator release from human basophils and mast cells by mizolastine.
BACKGROUND Basophils and mast cells play a major role in the pathogenesis of allergic disorders by releasing several proinflammatory mediators. Some histamine H1 receptor antagonists exert anti-inflammatory activities by modulating mediator release from basophils and mast cells. OBJECTIVE To study the in vitro effects of mizolastine, an H1 receptor antagonist, on the release of eicosanoids, h...
