Relevance of basophil histamine release changes during venom immunotherapy.

Abstract

We investigated the effect of rush and long-term venom immunotherapy on histamine release parameters in bee venom allergic patients. Ten patients received rush venom immunotherapy, and histamine release data were obtained immediately before and after treatment. 17 patients were assessed by histamine release 24 to 63 months after termination of long-term venom immunotherapy. A control group of 10 non-allergic subjects was included in this study. Histamine released from whole blood was determined in a sensitive radio-enzymatic assay using a single isotope technique. Bee venom phospholipase A-induced histamine release from whole blood proved to be a test procedure of high specificity and sensitivity. Eight of 10 untreated patients and no control subject showed significant antigen-induced histamine release. Results obtained from patients immediately after successful rush venom immunotherapy showed an important decrease (mean 45.9%) of total histamine content of basophil leukocytes in all patients. Antigen-induced maximum histamine release was found to be increased in one, decreased in two and unchanged in seven patients. In patients who received long-term immunotherapy cell sensitivity to phospholipase A was significantly lower tha...Continue Reading
