Although several cases of chronic urticaria (CU) are currently regarded as autoimmune in origin, associated with histamine-releasing autoantibodies, an activation of blood coagulation via tissue factor (TF) and a strong expression of TF in lesional skin have been described. Eosinophils, which are involved in CU skin lesions, have recently been demonstrated as the major source of TF in human blood. We assessed whether eosinophils are the cellular source of TF in CU skin lesions.
