PG - 86-94 LID - 10.1002/cyto.a.24338 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Application of basophil activation test (BAT) in clinical trials requires assay validity. Whether assay variability differs between healthy and asthmatic subjects is mostly unknown. This study compares basophil stimulation using blood from healthy and asthmatic subjects with or without inhibition of spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK). METHODS: Whole blood of healthy and mild asthmatic subjects was stimulated with anti-dinitrophenyl (DNP) IgE/DNP bovine serum albumin and anti-IgE. Basophil activation was detected by CD63 and CD203c expression. CD63 expression levels were compared with serum IgE levels. Three operators repeated experiments with three subjects each from both groups at 3 days to observe assay precision. The effect of the SYK inhibitor BI 1002494 was assessed in BAT for both healthy and asthmatic subjects. RESULTS: BAT was reproducible in both groups. Acceptance criteria of <25% CV were mostly fulfilled. Stimulation with anti-DNP (p < 0.001, r = -0.80) but not anti-IgE (p = 0.74, r = 0.05) was related to serum IgE with levels > 200 IU/ml limiting anti-DNP stimulation. BI 1002494 IC(50) values were 497 nM and 1080 nM in healthy and 287 nM and 683 nM in asthmatics for anti-DNP and anti-IgE stimulation, respectively. CONCLUSION: BAT, performed with blood from healthy or asthmatic subjects, is a robust test for the measurement of a physiological response in clinical trials. Blood from asthmatic donors with serum IgE > 200 IU/ml is less feasible when using anti-DNP stimulation. SYK inhibition was not affected by disease status. CI - (c) 2021 The Authors.
