1 BACKGROUND: We have previously shown that the human recombinant histamine releasing factor (HrHRF) caused histamine release from a subset of basophils from donors with allergy, and this release seemed to be dependent on the presence of a certain type of IgE, termed IgE+. Histamine immunoglobulin heavy constant epsilon Homo sapiens
2 BACKGROUND: We have previously shown that the human recombinant histamine releasing factor (HrHRF) caused histamine release from a subset of basophils from donors with allergy, and this release seemed to be dependent on the presence of a certain type of IgE, termed IgE+. Histamine immunoglobulin heavy constant epsilon Homo sapiens
3 However, subsequently we demonstrated that HrHRF primes anti-IgE-antibody-induced histamine release from all basophils, irrespective of the type of IgE on the cell surface. Histamine immunoglobulin heavy constant epsilon Homo sapiens
4 RESULTS: Mean anti-IgE-induced histamine release was 33% +/- 15%, and there was no difference between IgE+ sensitization (32% +/- 12%) and IgE- sensitization (34% +/- 18%). Histamine immunoglobulin heavy constant epsilon Homo sapiens
