Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human basophils undergo anaphylactic degranulation, characterized by extrusion of membrane-free granules, and piecemeal degranulation, characterized by progressive removal of granule contents in the absence of granule extrusion. F-Met peptide stimulates a degranulation continuum in human basophils that includes both forms of secretion. Charcot-Leyden crystal protein is stored in the granules of...
