Basophil and high affinity IgE receptor materials and methods relating to the diagnosis of anaphylaxis

摘要

The present invention relates to methods and materials for the diagnosis of anaphylaxis, and more particularly to the role of basophil absolute count and the expression of the high affinity IgE in the occurrence of anaphylaxis. Methods of diagnosing anaphylaxis by determining the absolute number of basophils in whole blood or by determining the expression of the ± chain of high affinity IgE receptor in whole blood are disclosed.
