Journal ArticleDOI
The Receptor with High Affinity for Immunoglobulin E
TL;DR: The Fc receptor with high affinity for monomeric immunoglobulin E (IgE}-is only one of several proteins that interact with IgE (1-5), and its special characteristic is its distribution on the plasma membrane of mast cells and basophils exclusively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complete structure and expression in transfected cells of high affinity IgE receptor
TL;DR: The cloning of cDNA for the γ subunit is reported, and a model for the αβγ2 tetramer which accounts for many of the structural features of the receptor is proposed, to permit the detailed analysis of the human IgE-receptor interaction and assist the search for therapeutically effective inhibitors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dimeric immunoglobulin E serves as a unit signal for mast cell degranulation.
TL;DR: It is concluded that IgE that has been crosslinked to form dimers prior to the addition to mast cells can serve as a unit signal for triggering IgE-mediated exocytosis.

THE INTERACTION OF IgE WITH RAT BASOPHILIC LEUKEMIA CELLS : II. Quantitative Aspects of the Binding Reaction
Anthony Kulczycki,Henry Metzger +1 more
TL;DR: The reaction mechanism appears to consist of a simple reversible binding reaction with k 1 = 9.6 x 104 M–1 sec–1 and k –1 ⩽ 1.8 kcal/mol, and the calculated KA is therefore ⩾ 6 x 109 M-1.
