“…Fc⑀RI is a member of a family of receptors expressed on immune effector cells that lack intrinsic enzymatic activity but possess cytoplasmic immune receptor tyrosinebased activation motifs that bind cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) (2,3). Similar to other immune cell receptors (such as the T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) or B-cell antigen receptor), Fc⑀RI is composed of multiple subunits including a ligand binding component (␣ chain) noncovalently associated with transmembrane proteins that bear the immune receptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (␤ chain and a homodimer of disulfide-linked ␥ chains) (4,5). The ␤ and ␥ cytoplasmic domains are responsible for signal transduction (6,7).…”

“…The type I receptor for IgE (FcsRI) is expressed on mast cells and basophils, as well as on Langerhans cells, monocytes, and eosinophils (1). FcsRI clustering on mast cells and basophils initiates a cascade of biochemical processes coupling it to the secretory responses of these cells.…”

“…FcsRI clustering on mast cells and basophils initiates a cascade of biochemical processes coupling it to the secretory responses of these cells. These processes include (i) activation of receptor-associated protein-tyrosine kinases (2) and phosphatases (3), causing transient tyrosine phosphorylation of several cellular proteins (4), (ii) an increase in phosphatidylinositide hydrolysis resulting from phospholipase Cyl activation, and (iii) a rise in the intracellular concentration of free calcium ions (1,5). The final response to this stimulus is secretion of granule-stored mediators and the de novo synthesis and secretion of arachidonic acid metabolites and cytokines.…”

“…Based on these facts, we assume that the IgE immunoglobulin plays an important role in this in vitro bioassay. The rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-2H3) cell line, which originated from mucosa mast cells, has been extensively utilized for the study of the signaling cascade involved in degranulation and inflammatory mediator release (Metzger 1992;Adamczewski and Kinet 1994;Scharenberg and Kinet 1995). These cells rapidly divide in culture; therefore, cell number is not a limitation for signaling studies (Tkaczyk and Gilfillan 2001).…”
