Newly appreciated roles for basophils in allergy and protective immunity.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Spanish population is rather homogeneous in its genetic and sociocultural characteristics, but allergen sensitization shows wide geographical variations. We aimed at assessing whether sensitization to different allergens in the diverse geographical areas induced different clinical and quality-of-life charact...
