The effect of disodium-chromoglykate on human serum neutrophil-chemotactic activity in antigen induced bronchospasm

L Nagy. Allerg Immunol (Leipz). 1981.

Abstract

The prior administration of disodium-chromoglykate significantly inhibited the increase of serum neutrophil-chemotactic activity in house-dust induced bronchospasm. The serum neutrophil-chemotactic activity was probably mast-cell derived, because of the protective effect of disodium-chromoglykate and it may be related to Neutrophil-chemotactic Factor isolated in human pulmonary tissue. The moderately increased chemotactic activity after prior administration of disodium-chromoglykate in house-dust induced bronchospasm may derive from circulating basophils. The cellular chemotaxis (eosinophil, neutrophil) may has main importance in the pathophysiology of asthma bronchiale. The stimulation of eosinophil-associated effects may provide a new therapeutic line.
