How to work with a blood sample?
• Anticoagulant → anticoagulated blood
• Transport to the laboratory within 2h
• Storing at 4 °C → Slowdown "aging"
• Funcinal tests – intact cells• Gentle fast work → vitality

• Basophils identification – CD203c
• Activated basophils identification – CD63 • The resting basophils – CD63 a component
of granule containing histamine membrane • Basophil activation → fusion of granules with
cytoplasmic membrane = exposure of CD63 molecule on cell surfaces
![Page 19: Methods for testing cell-mediated immunity. Inrtoduction: Cell-mediated immunity White blood cells – leukocytes Nonspecific immunity: »Neutrophils »Eosinophils.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649d965503460f94a7f82a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Procedure of basophil activation test
• Incubation of the blood sample with IL-3 • Promoting of basophil stimulation – eg increased
histamine release • The possibility of CD63 expression increase
→ increased sensitivity of the test
• Incubation of the blood sample with an allergen
• Basophil activation
• Staining of molecules:• CD203c• CD63

» Inoculation of microorganisms on soil – counting colonies» Microscopically – vital staining (trypan blue = dead
microorganisms)
