Enhancement of basophil chemotaxis in vitro by virus-induced interferon.

Lett-Brown, M A, Aelvoet, M, Hooks, J J, Georgiades, J A, Thueson, D O, Grant, J A

It is well established that viral infections may precipitate or worsen attacks of bronchial asthma. Furthermore, in symptomatic atopic subjects, the local accumulation of basophils and the production...

Identification of a histamine release inhibitory factor produced by human mononuclear cells in vitro.

Alam, R, Grant, J A, Lett-Brown, M A

Human mononuclear cells (MNC) secrete histamine-releasing factor(s) (HRF) when cultured in vitro. HRF induces the release of histamine and other mediators from basophils and mast cells. We have shown...

Monocyte chemotactic and activating factor is a potent histamine-releasing factor for basophils.

Alam, R, Lett-Brown, M A, Forsythe, P A, Anderson-Walters, D J, Kenamore, C, Kormos, C, ...

Monocyte chemotactic and activating factor (MCAF) is a recently cloned cytokine that causes chemotaxis of basophils. In our pursuit of cytokines affecting basophil function, we studied the effect of...
