Effect of extracorporeal sorption on the content of free intracellular calcium of the leukocytes in atopic bronchial asthma

Antigen-IgE-antibody interaction on the cell surface in an allergic reaction increases methylation of phospholipids of a cell membrane making it permeable for Ca2+ ions. Therefore of interest is a study of free intracellular Ca2+ concentration from a view-point of development of atopic bronchial ast...

Description
Summary:Antigen-IgE-antibody interaction on the cell surface in an allergic reaction increases methylation of phospholipids of a cell membrane making it permeable for Ca2+ ions. Therefore of interest is a study of free intracellular Ca2+ concentration from a view-point of development of atopic bronchial asthma and the use of extracorporal methods of its therapy permitting the elimination of IgE-antibodies from the blood flow. The level of intracellular Ca2+ in the leukocytes of patients with atopic bronchial asthma was studied. It has been shown that 1. the fraction of leukocytes with a higher level of intracellular Ca2+ in patients with atopic bronchial asthma was increased as compared to healthy donors; 2. extracorporal sorption results in a decrease in the number of leukocytes with high Ca concentration.
