Methods for detecting nonactivated basophils in a whole blood sample obtained from a normal healthy subject, methods for determining a subject's susceptibility to an allergic reaction to an allergen, where the subject has no known allergy to the allergen, methods for measuring a response to challenge with a potential allergen in a whole blood sample obtained from a subject with known allergic reactivity to allergens other than the potential allergen; and an in vitro system for reliable detection or quantification of a specific white blood cell population in a whole blood sample are described.
