In humans, interleukin-5 is a very selective cytokine as a result of the restricted expression of the interleukin-5 receptor on eosinophils and basophils. (biomedcentral.com)
Progress in therapy is usually hampered by the difficulties of inadequate positive predictive value of antibody detection and clinical scores in suspected HIT, very limited availability of practical platelet activation assays, and the paucity of new agents in human clinical trials. (immune-source.com)
HIT therapy needs improvement that could come from better diagnostics in the form of practical platelet activation assays, and from combos of rational therapeutics targeting past due and early guidelines in pathophysiology. (immune-source.com)
Allergy diagnostics can also be done in vitro using allergen-specific IgE antibody assays and the basophil activation test (BAT). (kth.se)
Studies conducted in the 1970s found that a series of N-formylmethionine-containing oligopeptides, including the most potent and best known member of this series, N-Formylmethionine-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP or fMet-Leu-Phe), stimulated rabbit and human neutrophils by an apparent receptor-dependent mechanism to migrate in a directional pattern in classical laboratory assays of chemotaxis. (wikipedia.org)
Assay2
Importantly, PWT143 inhibits basophil activation (as measured by surface CD63 expression in a whole blood assay) with subnanomolar potency in response to anti-IgE stimulation but not in response to fMLP stimulation, suggesting a differential effect on autoimmune compared to bacterial antigen-mediated immune cell activation. (buhlmannlabs.ch)
In paper I, we developed a novel microfluidic immunoaffinity-based basophil activation test (miBAT) assay to investigate whether it was possible to capture and activate basophils from whole blood in a microfluidic chip. (kth.se)
Allergen4
Cell Setup: Peripheral blood leukocytes are enriched from heparinized whole blood and stimulated with fMLP Basophil Activation Test, allergen (BasoFunction Test) or buffer alone. (eurofins-viracor.com)
In paper II, we further investigated whether it was possible to detect a dose-dependent allergen activation for basophils captured in a microfluidic chip. (kth.se)
We detected a significant difference in CD63-expression between the negative control and allergen-activated basophils from allergic patients but no difference between the negative control and the non-relevant allergen (an allergen to which the patient had no IgE antibodies). (kth.se)
miBAT was also able to discriminate between relevant and non-relevant allergen activation as well as between allergic patients and healthy controls. (kth.se)
Kinase1
Using tumor cell lines and primary patient samples representing multiple B-cell malignancies, we have demonstrated that constitutive phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase pathway activation is p110δ-dependent. (ashpublications.org)
Cytokine2
Cytokine stimulation followed by IgE-independent (fMLP) basophil degranulation on the other hand showed a significantly increased CD63-expression compared to non-primed fMLP activation. (kth.se)
In addition to their efficient lipid-lowering effects, statins exhibit independent so called pleiotropic effects potentially affecting several immune response properties including immune cell activation, migration, cytokine generation, immune metabolism, and survival. (archivesofmedicalscience.com)
Stimulation2
In paper III, we studied basophil adhesion and activation to better understand both basophil function as well as the effect that basophil capture and stimulation in a microfluidic chip has on the cell. (kth.se)
Basophils contain vasoactive amines such as histamine and serotonin, which are released on appropriate stimulation. (immport.org)
CD634
The captured basophils were activated using an anti-FceRI antibody and the basophil identification marker CD203c and the activation marker CD63 were detected using fluorescence microscopy. (kth.se)
Basophils did not upregulate CD63 after passage through a microfluidic chip, but there was a slight but significant activation after crosslinking of CD203c, which is the surface marker used for basophil-specific capture in miBAT, giving one potential factor for the background activation. (kth.se)
IgE-dependent (anti-IgE) basophil degranulation after crosslinking of adhesion molecules, to mimic adhesion before transmigration into tissue, showed a significant decrease in CD63-expression compared to anti-IgE activation, which indicate a regulatory function. (kth.se)
In conclusion, we have developed a novel microfluidic-based technique (miBAT) able to detect basophil activation (CD63-expression) using allergens in allergic patients. (kth.se)
Pathway1
item [-] A distinct pathway for Erk phosphorylation is activated, and those cells are anergized for IgE, but not fMLP stim %note here: maybe we want to do pErk/ 63 staining with fMLP stim \item [-] while peroxide effect is thought to be secondary to PTPs, neither lyn, nor syk are activated %should we try to look at fyn? (openwetware.org)
Potentially1
The basophil capture in a microfluidic chip could potentially mimic basophil adhesion to the endothelium and was therefore of interest due to the elevated background activation seen in unstimulated basophils captured in a microfluidic chip, reported in paper I and II. (kth.se)
Inflammation1
Basophils can be recruited into the tissue during inflammation originating from for example allergic reactions or parasite infections. (kth.se)

Methods: We analysed the incidence and severity of SAEs during VIT in patients undergoing VIT at the University Hospital Golnik in 2005-2016 and analysed clinical (age, sex, severity of the initial reaction) and immunological (specific IgE for wasp and bee venom, recombinant IgE, basal tryptase, basophil activation test) risk factors for SAEs.

Formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1, FPR1 receptor, fMet-Leu-Phe receptor 1, FMLP receptor 1, or N-formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine receptor 1) is a cell surface receptor protein that in humans is encoded by the formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1) gene. (wikipedia.org)
This gene encodes a G protein-coupled receptor cell surface protein that binds and is activated by N-Formylmethionine-containing oligopeptides, particularly N-Formylmethionine-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP). (wikipedia.org)

The aims of this thesis were to improve the existing BAT using microfluidic techniques to enable fast and cheap point-ofcare (POC) diagnostics as well as to further study basophil adhesion and activation for a better understanding of basophil behavior and regulation both in vivo and in vitro in a microfluidic chip. (kth.se)
Cells1
Two effector cells involved in allergic disease are mast cells and basophils, where basophils are more readily available in blood and therefore of great interest when studying allergy. (kth.se)

Combination1
In macrophages, HS in combination with inflammatory stimuli leads to enhanced pro-inflammatory activation and increased antimicrobial capacity ( 8 , 12 , 13 , 24 , 25 ), while limiting their regulatory features ( 26 - 29 ). (frontiersin.org)
Neutrophils2
Studies conducted in the 1970s found that a series of N-formylmethionine-containing oligopeptides, including the most potent and best known member of this series, N-Formylmethionine-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP or fMet-Leu-Phe), stimulated rabbit and human neutrophils by an apparent receptor-dependent mechanism to migrate in a directional pattern in classical laboratory assays of chemotaxis. (wikipedia.org)
In permeabilized neutrophils, a clear up-regulation of the specific granule marker CD67 was observed upon incubation with a free Ca2+ concentration of 1 microM, a value of the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration occurring in formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP)-activated neutrophils.
