Abstract excerpt
There is an increase in the number of CD23+ cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in atopic dermatitis (AD). We analysed the subpopulation of CD23+ PBMC in 11 patients with AD and in 10 healthy controls and found that B cells (CD20+) and non-T, non-B cells (CD3- CD20-) (mainly monocytes) were responsible for the elevation of CD23+ cells. CD23+ T cells (CD3+) comprised only 4.6% of total CD23+ cells...
