English

Subject field(s)
  • Cytology
  • Immunology
CONT

... the "Human Basophil Degranulation Test," ... Basophils contain granules which are made of histamine and other chemicals which can elicit symptoms of allergy when they are released or degranulated. A substance to which a person is allergic causes degranulation of the basophils.There are certain substances which will cause anybody's basophils to degranulate. IgE is a special type of antibody which causes the release/degranulation of basophils, and "anti- IgE" is an artificial (man-made) antibody that can have a similar effect as IgE.

CONT

Les granulocytes basophiles sont impliqués essentiellement dans les phénomènes d’hypersensibilité immédiate, fonction liée aux substances chimiques contenues dans leurs granulations : la dégranulation des basophiles, après intervention d’immunoglobulines E(IgE), se produit par l'intermédiaire de vésicules d’exocytose, et s’accompagne d’une libération d’histamine et autres amines vasopressives responsables de réactions anaphylactiques.
