Dietary lectins play a major role in the activation of mast cells / basophils by bridging cell surface IgE glycans to release histamine and other mediators. In the present study, the effect of mannose / glucose-specific banana lectin (BanLec) on the activation of mast cells / basophils from non-atopic and atopic subjects has been investigated. […]
