Purpose : The release of histamine from human basophils is controlled by an intrinsic, as yet
unidentified, cellular property termed “releasability.” We carried out this study to ascertain whether
there was any difference in the releasability of basophils from asthmatic children compared to
those from normal children. We intended also to clarify the correlation between the releasability
and the atopic status of asthma.
