Disease relevance of Fcer1a

 

High impact information on Fcer1a

  • In order to identify the smallest Fc fragment capable of binding to the Fc epsilon RI alpha with high affinity, various regions of the IgE-Fc molecule were expressed in COS cells and investigated for their ability to bind Fc epsilon RI alpha [3].
  • These human Fc epsilon RI alpha-transfected cell lines have been characterized with respect to the association of the human alpha subunit with endogenous rat beta and gamma subunits and the ability of aggregated Fc epsilon RI alpha subunits to mediate a variety of biochemical events [4].
  • In contrast to MCD peptide, [Ala12]MCD showed a 50% inhibition of IgE binding to the Fc epsilon RI alpha mast cell receptor by using rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-2H3) mast cells and fluorescence polarization [5].
 

Anatomical context of Fcer1a

  • We synthesized various analogues of indolyl, naphthyl and phenylethyl substituted halopyridyl, thiazolyl and benzothiazolyl thioureas and examined their in vitro effects on the high affinity IgE receptor/FcERI-mediated mast cell leukotriene release [6].
