Published: April 1990

Histamine release from human peripheral blood leukocytes, after in vitro challenge with allergen extracts, is usually measured by fluorometry. In the present study we compared the results of the automated fluorometric histamine assay (Siraganian) with those of the Immunotech histamine radioimmunoassay. Histamine release dose-response curves obtained after histamine measurement by both methods were superimposable.

Cry1A Insecticidal Toxins and Their Digests Do Not Stimulate Histamine Release from Cultured Rat Mast Cells.

Public acceptance of genetically modified crops engineered with (Bt) insecticidal protein genes (BT-GMCs), which confer resistance to various lepidopteran insect pests, is generally lacking. As a major concern over BT-GMCs is the allergenicity of insecticidal proteins, alleviating safety concerns should help increase public acceptance. In this study, three lepidopteran-specific Bt toxins, Cry1Aa, Cy1Ab, and Cry1Ac, were treated with simulated digestive fluids under various conditions.

Utility of serum biomarkers in real-world practice for predicting response to omalizumab therapy in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria.

J Allergy Clin Immunol Glob

Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Rheumatology, Allergy and Immunology, Cincinnati, Ohio.

Background: Omalizumab (OMA), a recombinant humanized IgG monoclonal anti-IgE antibody, is approved for treatment for chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) refractory to second-generation H-antihistamine (SGAH) therapy. However, currently, there are no validated serum biomarkers to reliably predict response to OMA treatment.

Objective: We explored the real-world clinical utility of using serum biomarkers for predicting response to OMA for CSU patients with disease refractory to high-dose SGAH therapy.

Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor endangering women's life and health. Tamoxifen citrate (TAM) is the first-line drug of adjuvant endocrine therapy for estrogen receptor-positive (ER) breast cancer patients. Some sporadic cases have described rare adverse reactions of TAM with potentially life-threatening dermatological manifestations, which were associated with skin allergy.
