Leung K, Flint K, Brostoff J, Hudspith B, Johnson N, Lau H, et al.
Thorax . 1988 Oct; 43(10):756-61. PMID: 2462755
Sodium cromoglycate and nedocromil sodium produced a dose dependent inhibition of histamine secretion from human pulmonary mast cells obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage and by enzymatic dissociation of lung parenchyma. Both...

Ghanem N, ASSEM E, Leung K, Pearce F
Agents Actions . 1988 Apr; 23(3-4):223-6. PMID: 2455996
In guinea pig (GP) and human heart and kidney cell or tissue preparations fixed with Carnoy's fluid (but not with formol-saline), mast cells (MC) were extremely well preserved and could...

Leung K, Marath A, Williams T, DREW C, Pearce F
Agents Actions . 1988 Apr; 23(3-4):221-2. PMID: 2455995
Mast cells were isolated by the enzymic dissociation of lung tissue from the pig. The responses of these cells to a variety of histamine liberators and anti-allergic drugs were examined....

Ghanem N, ASSEM E, Leung K, Pearce F
Int Arch Allergy Appl Immunol . 1988 Jan; 85(3):351-7. PMID: 2450846
We have studied the distribution of mast cells (MC) in different tissues of the guinea pig (GP), and certain aspects of their histochemical and cytochemical properties. In preparations fixed with...

Withington D, Leung K, Bromley L, Scadding G, Pearce F
Anaesthesia . 1987 Aug; 42(8):850-4. PMID: 2444131
A patient who suffered a severe hypotensive episode after induction of anaesthesia, was subsequently found to show positive skin-test responses to suxamethonium. Investigation revealed that suxamethonium induced basophils from the...

Leung K, Flint K, Hudspith B, Brostoff J, Johnson N, Seager K, et al.
Agents Actions . 1987 Apr; 20(3-4):213-5. PMID: 2440274
The properties of human pulmonary mast cells obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and enzymic dispersion of lung tissue have been compared with those of basophil leucocytes. On challenge with anti-human...

Pearce F, Flint K, Leung K, Hudspith B, Seager K, Hammond M, et al.
Int Arch Allergy Appl Immunol . 1987 Jan; 82(3-4):507-12. PMID: 2437052
Human pulmonary mast cells were obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and by enzymic dissociation of whole lung. The cells released histamine on immunological stimulation or on exposure to a hyperosmolar...

Leung K, Flint K, Brostoff J, Hudspith B, Johnson N, Pearce F
Agents Actions . 1986 Apr; 18(1-2):110-2. PMID: 2425569
The properties of human pulmonary mast cells obtained by enzymic dispersion of whole lung and by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) have been compared with those of the basophil leucocyte. The latter...

Sanderson I, Leung K, Pearce F, Walker-Smith J
J Clin Pathol . 1986 Mar; 39(3):279-83. PMID: 2420832
Biopsies from actively inflamed areas of terminal ileum or colon in children with Crohn's disease were examined both for lamina propria mast cell density and histamine content. These were reduced...

Flint K, Leung K, Hudspith B, Brostoff J, Pearce F, Johnson N
Thorax . 1986 Feb; 41(2):94-9. PMID: 2422776
Bronchoalveolar lavage was carried out in 36 subjects with sarcoidosis and 20 control subjects undergoing bronchoscopy for routine diagnostic purposes. The proportion of mast cells in the lavage fluid of...
