The
arylsulfatase
activity and histamine concentration of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were examined in patients with bronchial asthma in relation to the eosinophil count and asthma type (atopic and non-
atopic)
. The BALF
arylsulfatase
activity and histamine concentration were significantly higher in atopic asthmatics than in non-atopic asthmatics. In atopic asthmatics, the activity of
arylsulfatase
was significantly increased in patients with a higher eosinophil count (10% or more). However, the BALF histamine concentration did not correlate with the eosinophil count. In non-atopic asthmatics, there was no significant correlation between
arylsulfatase
activity and the eosinophil count. The results show that
arylsulfatase
participates in IgE-mediated allergic reactions.
