Abstract

Basophils and mast cells are known for their capability to release both preformed and newly synthesized inflammatory mediators. In this chapter, we describe how to stimulate and detect histamine released from basophils in whole blood, purified basophils, in vitro cultured mast cells, and in situ skin mast cells (the latter by microdialysis), using either a solid phase assay or flow cytometry. We also give an example of an activation protocol for basophil and mast cell cytokine release and discuss approaches for cytokine detection.
