Owing to the proposed role of Fc epsilon RII/CD23 in allergic diseases, we analyzed the expression of this receptor on peripheral blood lymphocytes (pan-B, pan-T and CD4+ or CD8+ T cells) and its autoproteolytic product sCD23 in serum. This was done in 10 asthmatic children allergic to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Dpt) before and 6 weeks after hyposensitization. FACS analysis of double, direct immunofluorescence staining of the whole blood revealed an elevated percentage of Fc epsilon RII/CD23+ lymphocytes in allergic children (10.29 +/- 5.0), a significantly higher percentage than in nonallergic children (5.7 +/- 2.4, p < 0.05). The majority of Fc epsilon RII/CD23+ were on B cells. A significant positive correlation between the percentages of CD23+ lymphocytes and serum IgE levels was found (Spearman rank = 0.63, p < 0.05). The percentage of CD20+CD23+ lymphocytes significantly decreased after 6 weeks of hyposensitization (6.2 +/- 3.6, p < 0.05), while the percentage of CD20+ lymphocytes remained unchanged. Similarly, hyposensitization was followed by a reduction of total serum IgE levels, but Dpt-specific IgG4 and IgE remained unchanged.

D008925 Mites Any arthropod of the subclass ACARI except the TICKS. They are minute animals related to the spiders, usually having transparent or semitransparent bodies. They may be parasitic on humans and domestic animals, producing various irritations of the skin (MITE INFESTATIONS). Many mite species are important to human and veterinary medicine as both parasite and vector. Mites also infest plants. Acarus,Mite
D002648 Child A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL. Children
D002675 Child, Preschool A child between the ages of 2 and 5. Children, Preschool,Preschool Child,Preschool Children
D003888 Desensitization, Immunologic Immunosuppression by the administration of increasing doses of antigen. Though the exact mechanism is not clear, the therapy results in an increase in serum levels of allergen-specific IMMUNOGLOBULIN G, suppression of specific IgE, and an increase in suppressor T-cell activity.

D005260 Female Females
D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
