A new human mast cell line expressing a functional IgE receptor converts to tumorigenic growth by KIT D816V transfection
28 Mar 2014
Abstract excerpt
In systemic mastocytosis (SM), clinical problems arise from factor-independent proliferation of mast cells (MCs) and the increased release of mediators by MCs, but no human cell line model for studying MC activation in the context of SM is available. We have created a stable stem cell factor (SCF) -dependent human MC line, ROSA(KIT WT), expressing a fully functional immunoglobulin E (IgE) receptor. Transfection...
