title: IgE-induced changes in human basophil cyclic AMP levels.
abstract: We studied a unique patient with 77% basophils, not different from normal by a number of criteria, in order to measure the changes in cyclic AMP level associated with IgE-mediated histamine release. In accordance with previous hypothesis and circumstantial evidence, anti-IgE challenge led to a significant fall in the cyclic AMP level which preceded histamine release.
