Exploratory analysis of CD63 and CD203c expression in basophils from hazelnut sensitized and allergic individuals

ConclusionOur data indicate that the basophil activation test may provide information to better distinguish between sensitized and allergic subjects if several allergen concentrations are considered. CD203c expression displayed a better discrimination compared to CD63; therefore, its diagnostic value might be superior compared with CD63.
