We used ultrastructural autoradiographic and cytochemical methods to localize esterase activities in unstimulated guinea pig basophils and in basophils undergoing degranulation or recovery from degranulation. We used tritium-labeled diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP) as a probe for serine enzymes and localized this probe by ultrastructural autoradiography to cytoplasmic granules of immature or mature unstimulated basophils, as well as to granules released by degranulating basophils.

Abstract Eosinophils play an important role as effector cells in allergic, parasitic, and other conditions. The mechanism(s) by which eosinophils mediate their effector functions was studied by incubation of human normodense eosinophils with Sepharose beads coupled to various Ig isotypes as targets. Controls included eosinophils incubated alone or incubated with uncoated beads, human serum albumin-, or OVA-coated beads. An eosinophil granule protein, the eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN), was measured as an indicator of eosinophil degranulation. Eosinophils released eosinophil-derived neurot

Abstract:
Allergies are an inevitable part of life, no matter where we live. Without a doubt, the symptoms of allergies can cause severe physical and mental suffering. Although medical science has made great strides in suppressing allergy symptoms with medicines, immunotherapies, and virus-like particle technology (i.e., Allergy Vaccines), research indicates that allergies may be nature's cancer immunotherapy. Targeted degranulation explores breaking the immune-tolerance cancer barrier. This review will discuss how IgE-primed effector cells and allergenic vaccines may inhibit solid tumor progression.

Abstract:
Eosinophils are specialized white blood cells, which are involved in the pathology of diverse allergic and nonallergic inflammatory diseases. Eosinophils are traditionally known as cytotoxic effector cells but have been suggested to additionally play a role in immunomodulation and maintenance of homeostasis. The exact role of these granule-containing leukocytes in health and diseases is still a matter of debate. Degranulation is one of the key effector functions of eosinophils in response to diverse stimuli. The different degranulation patterns occurring in eosinophils (piecemeal degranulation

Abstract IgE/Antigen-mediated crosslinking of the high affinity IgE receptor (FcϵRI) in mast cells leads to the release of preformed, granule-stored mediators in a calcium-dependent process known as anaphylactic degranulation. Inhibition of degranulation has been proposed for the control of allergic reactions. Cannabinoid (CB) receptors have been recently found to modulate distinct immune responses. The aim of this work was to analyze the effects of the CB agonist anandamide (AEA) on the anaphylactic degranulation triggered by FcϵRI activation in murine bone marrow-derived mast cells. AEA inhi

However, we have established that this non-IgE response is strain dependent with C57BL/6 bone marrow derived mast cells (BMMCs) being high responders and LP/J BMMCs being low responders.

ABSTRACTNK cells lyse virus-infected cells by degranulation; however, alterations in NK cell degranulation in persistent viral infections have not been directly studied. Earlier reports have documented a decrease in NK activity in patients with frequently recurring herpes (FRH). We corroborate these findings by showing that the degranulation responses of blood NK cells from patients with FRH, both during relapse and during remission, are significantly lower than those in healthy donors. The impaired degranulation was probably not caused by defective target cell recognition, since it was observ

We recently showed that the signals through FcRγ chain are essential for IgE(-Ag)–induced mast cell survival as well as IgE(+Ag)–induced degranulation.

ABSTRACT Anaplasma phagocytophilum-infected neutrophil degranulation could exacerbate inflammation. Thus, the degranulation of infected neutrophils was assayed. Infected neutrophils expressed CD11b and CD66b, and supernatants of infected neutrophils showed more proMMP-9 and MMP-9 activity than controls and continued to do so for ≥18 h. Degranulation-related inflammatory tissue injury may account for some clinical manifestations in human granulocytic anaplasmosis.

The relative contribution to cytotoxicity of each of the multiple NK cell activation receptors has been difficult to assess. Using Drosophila insect cells, which express ligands of human NK cell receptors, we show that target cell lysis by resting NK cells is controlled by different receptor signals for cytolytic granule polarization and degranulation. Intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 on insect cells was sufficient to induce polarization of granules, but not degranulation, in resting NK cells.
