Abstract excerpt
Aggregation of the high-affinity immunoglobulin E (IgE) receptor (FcepsilonRI), expressed on mast cells and basophils, initiates the immediate hypersensitivity reaction. Aggregated FcepsilonRI has been reported to rapidly migrate to lipid rafts in RBL-2H3 cells. We confirmed that aggregated FcepsilonRI is found in the lipid raft fractions of cellular lysates. Furthermore, we show that the cross-linked FcepsilonRI...
