Histamine receptor antagonist partially blocked IL-17 amplification by basophils. (A) TEM were cultured in the presence of IL-2 plus IL-3 with or without basophils in the presence or absence of antagonists to H1R, H2R or H4R (10−5M). After 4 days, IL-17, IL-22, and IFN-γ secretion was measured using ELISA. (B) TEM were cultured in the presence of IL-2 plus IL-3 with or without 5μM histamine or cocultured with basophils. After 5 days, cytokine production was measured using ELISA. Data represent means ± SEM for 4 donors. *P < .05; **P < .01; ***P < .001.
