Flow cytometric analysis of drug-induced basophil histamine release Universiteit Antwerpen
Histamine and its release can be studied by multicolor flow cytometry on a single cell level by an enzyme affinity method (HistaFlow®). However, for the time-being, the clinical and scientific application of the HistaFlow® technique remains limited. This study aims at verifying the reliability of the HistaFlow® as an instrument to quantify IgE-mediated basophil responses to drugs, i.e. rocuronium, which are believed to be less potent basophil ...
