  • Title: Antigen-induced histamine-release in diagnosis of allergy.
    Author: Baenkler HW, Eberlein R.
    Journal: Allerg Immunol (Leipz); 1983; 29(4):209-11. PubMed ID: 6198891.
    Abstract:
    Antigen-induced histamine-release from basophils was evaluated in 12 patients with hypersensitivity to grass, 14 patients with hypersensitivity to grains and 14 patients with hypersensitivity to insect-venom using a test with very high sensitivity. - Histamine-release upon stimulation with antigen was found in all patients with grass-hypersensitivity, in 12 of 14 patients with grain-hypersensitivity and in 10 of 14 patients with insect-venom-hypersensitivity. Additionally performed determination of total-IgE proved less valuable, whereas specific-IgE and skin-test showed a higher validity in hypersensitivity to grains.
