Basophils in human disease.

E B Mitchell, P W Askenase

    Clinical Reviews in Allergy
    |September 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Basophils play a key role in allergic diseases and parasite resistance. While harmful in allergies, these immune responses are crucial for fighting complex parasites.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Allergology
    • Parasitology

    Background:

    • Basophil-rich hypersensitivity reactions are detrimental in allergic diseases like dermatitis and rhinitis.
    • Similar immune responses are vital for resistance against multicellular parasites in animal models.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the dual role of basophil-mediated hypersensitivity reactions in allergic diseases and host defense against parasites.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on hypersensitivity reactions and immune responses to parasites.
    • Comparative analysis of basophil involvement in allergic conditions and parasitic infections.

    Main Results:

    • Basophils are key effectors in allergic reactions (contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis).

  • Basophil interactions with T lymphocytes and antibodies are critical for immune resistance against parasites in guinea pigs.

    • Conclusions:

    • Allergic hypersensitivity reactions, though damaging, may represent an evolutionary trade-off for effective parasite defense.
    • Understanding basophil roles can inform strategies for managing allergic diseases and enhancing antiparasitic immunity.
