Basophilic cell progenitors, nasal metachromatic cells, and peripheral blood basophils in ragweed-allergic patients
Abstract
Circulating hematopoietic progenitor cells giving rise to colonies containing basophilic cells (basophilic cell colony-forming units in culture [CFU-c]), nasal epithelial metachromatic cells (basophils and/or mast cells) (NMC), and blood basophils were enumerated before, during, and after a ragweed-pollen season in patients with ragweed hayfever and patients with perennial allergic rhinitis who were not ragweed allergic.
