Figure 2

CD203c expression in whole blood before and after basophil activation. Ungated leukocytes are shown as a biparametric representation on the basis of side scatter characteristics (SSC, y-axis) and CD203c (x-axis). Left histogram depicts resting cells, basophils express low levels of CD203c (some of them are not distinguishable from lymphocytes and monocytes). Right histogram depicts cells after anti-IgE challenge, activated basophils are easily recognized on the basis of their high CD203c expression.
