Inhibition by cyclosporin A of IgE production and cyclophosphamide-induced eosinophilia in rats immunized with non-parasite antigens.

abstract：:There is increasing evidence for the role of basophils in allergic bronchial asthma. We studied the potential role of basophils in the pathogenesis of post-exercise-induced bronchoconstriction by measuring the histamine release from basophils both spontaneously and following ConA, FMLP, anti-IgE and TPA treatment. Two...
