Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: GE2, a human bifunctional Fcgamma-Fcvarepsilon fusion protein cross-links FcgammaRIIb and FcvarepsilonRI on human mast cells and basophils and results in inhibition of FcvarepsilonRI-mediated functions. OBJECTIVE: Three modified Fcgamma-Fcvarepsilon (GE) proteins were compared with GE2 for their effect on inhibition of FcvarepsilonRI-mediated cellular responses. METHODS: GE2 was modified to...
