1 In our pursuit of cytokines affecting basophil function, we studied the effect of MCAF on histamine secretion from basophils. Histamine C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 Homo sapiens
2 MCAF caused dose-dependent release of histamine at concentrations of 10(-8) and 10(-7) M, and the mean release was 31.25 +/- 2.9% at the highest concentration. Histamine C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 Homo sapiens
3 All 20 subjects responded to MCAF with significant histamine release. Histamine C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 Homo sapiens
4 The histamine release was significantly correlated between MCAF and HRF (P less than 0.01), but not between MCAF and anti-IgE (P greater than 0.05). Histamine C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 Homo sapiens
5 The histamine release by MCAF was complete within the first 3 min. Histamine C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 Homo sapiens
6 MCAF-induced degranulation was a calcium-dependent process. Calcium C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 Homo sapiens
