The RBL-2H3 cell line: its provenance and suitability as a model for the mast cell.

Inflammation research : official journal of the European Histamine Research Society ... [et al.] - 1 Nov 2009

Passante Egle, Frankish Neil

Abstract excerpt

The RBL-2H3 cell line is a commonly used histamine-releasing cell line used in inflammation, allergy and immunological research. Quite commonly, it is referred to in research papers as a mast cell line, despite the fact that it is derived from basophils. There is also a lack of consistency, both between different research groups using the same cell line and with both mast cell and basophil physiology. The review...
