Peripheral blood basophils, basophil progenitors, and nasal metachromatic cells in allergic rhinitis.
Abstract
Relationships among mature blood basophils, blood basophil colony-forming units in culture (CFU-c), and nasal metachromatic cells (NMC) were investigated using hemopoietic and histochemical techniques in 29 patients with allergic rhinitis and in 7 nonatopic control subjects. Total blood granulocyte and basophil CFU-c were significantly elevated in atopy; the highest levels of basophil CFU-c were found in patients with low total NMC counts in …
