pubmed:abstractText
Using flow-cytometric analysis and a fluorescein-conjugated anti-IgE antibody, we have investigated whether normal-density human eosinophils will bind greater amounts of native IgE following activation with platelet-activating factor (PAF), leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and histamine. Incubation with PAF resulted in a large dose- and time-dependent increase in IgE binding, optimal at 10(-7) M and 30 min, respectively. LTB4 and histamine gave lower but significant increases in IgE binding. Enhanced binding of IgE by activated normal-density eosinophils is probably a consequence of enhanced Fc epsilon RII receptor expression, suggesting a functional role for this receptor in allergic inflammation.
