Whole-blood basophil activation tests stimulated with four types of jellyfish extracts. Four types of edible jellyfish (Rhopilema esculentum, Stomolophus meleagris, Rhopilema hisphidum, and Lobonema smithi) were prepared for the stimulation. The patient’s whole blood was cultured with each edible jellyfish extract. CD203c-expressing basophils were detected using fluorescence-activated cell sorting. The positive control was incubated with anti-immunoglobulin E antibody
