Vascular endothelial growth factor-activated basophils in asthmatics.

Conclusions: Raised basophils VEGF-activation is characteristic for examined patients with asthma and might be associated with presence of polymorphism del18/ins -2549 -2567 in the VEGF-promoter region. Furthermore, it may contribute to the development of airways remodelling - this pathway has not been considered yet.
