Early studies showed that up to 80% of children with food allergy demonstrate high spontaneous basophil histamine release (SBHR). 1 An association with IgE was suggested because basophils from food-allergic (FA) children additionally released histamine to the IgE-dependent histamine-releasing factor. 2 However, the exact mechanism (s) responsible for SBHR, including the dependency for IgE, remains poorly understood. We recently reported that SBHR significantly decreased in children undergoing sublingual immunotherapy/oral immunotherapy (SLIT/OIT) for cow's milk allergy, 3 prompting further investigations of this response and other markers of basophil hyperresponsiveness.Basophils were isolated from the blood of 38 FA (all to cow's milk) and 18 nonallergic children, as described in the Methods section of this article's Online Repository available at www. jacionline. org. Twenty-four children had been followed at baseline and during the SLIT/OIT protocol. 3 Thus, baseline values for several basophil parameters investigated in this subgroup are restated herein to demonstrate correlative associations not previously reported. Supporting demographic and clinical information regarding all subjects is summarized in Table E1 of this article's Online Repository available at www. jacionline. org. Diagnosis of milk allergy was based on a convincing history of acute reactivity to cow's milk (rxn+) and a milk-specific IgE level of more than 0.10 KUA/L (cap+). All FA subjects were strictly avoiding milk at the time blood was drawn. Control subjects had no history of acute reaction to any food (rxn−), had never avoided any foods, and were currently tolerating milk in their diet. Although, 3 of the 18 control subjects did have low levels of milk-specific IgE (1.52 KUA/L being the highest), these were less than those in the FA group (median, 52.5 KUA/L; range, 1.9-1108.0 KUA/L).
