  • Allergy test based on flow cytometric analysis
    Patent number: 8563258
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a method for the determination of basophil activation induced by a test substance by flow cytometric measurement of the changes of the mean or median fluorescence intensities (MFI) of the basophilic Fc?RI receptor present on the cell surface of basophils (MFI-Fc?RI) and/or the IgE antibodies bound to the Fc?RI receptor (MFI-IgE), and the CD63 antigen exposed on the cell surface of basophils after their activation (MFI-CD63), by means of a mixture of anti-CD63, anti-Fc?RI or anti-IgE, and anti-CCR3 antibodies each labelled with a distinct fluorophore, of which at least one antibody acts as a basophil selection marker and at least two antibodies act as basophil activation markers, and bringing the mean fluorescence intensities of the activation markers in correlation to obtain an Activation Index.
