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...

The aim of this study was to assess the synovial fluid (SF) neurotransmitter excitatory amino acid (EAA) levels, including glutamate (Glu) and aspartate (Asp), in the context of SF levels of other...
T lymphocyte-derived demyelinating activity in multiple sclerosis patients in relapse.
Selmaj, K, Alam, R, Perkin, G D, Rose, F C
Supernatants of cultured T lymphocytes of multiple sclerosis patients were tested for a demyelinating activity in rat cerebellum explant cultures. Supernatants of unstimulated T lymphocytes in seven...
