Modified basophil degranulation test in diagnosis of bee and wasp sting allergies

Allergy
Y Mumcuoglu, F Wortmann

Abstract

A modified basophil degranulation test proved reliable and easily reproducible in the investigation of 50 patients with allergies to bee and/or wasp stings. Its diagnostic value is comparable to that of the RAST and it is, in addition, simpler, quicker and cheaper. Its disadvantage is that it has to be performed within 24-36 hours after withdrawal of blood.

Basophils

Basophils are myeloid cells with a high affinity IgE receptor and is involved in inflammatory responses during allergy. Discover the latest research on Basophils here.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
