Abstract
The effect of disodium cromoglycate (DSCG) on in vitro proliferation of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and CD19+ B cells, positively selected by immunomagnetic separation, was investigated. The cells were obtained from allergic patients with moderate serum IgE levels and mild to moderate atopic dermatitis, and healthy controls. The different cell subfractions were stimulated with mitogens or specific allergens, as well as cell supernatants from the lymphoblastoid B- (RPMI 8866) and T-hybridoma (166 A2) cell lines. Proliferative responses of T- and B-cell subsets stimulated with mitogens together with recombinant interleukin-2 (rIL-2) or accessory cells (AC) could be inhibited by DSCG. In allergic individuals, significant allergen-specific stimulation could be observed in the CD8-depleted peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) fractions. Isolated CD4+ T cells, without AC or IL-2, could also be stimulated with specific allergen, but the responses were rather low. DSCG inhibited, concentration dependently, all allergen-induced responses. Interestingly, only atopic derived CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were stimulated by soluble low-affinity IgE receptor (Fc epsilon RII/sCD23) and IgE binding factor (IgEBF), including IgE enhancing factor, presen...Continue Reading
