Regulation of IgE‐receptor expression, IgE occupancy and secretory capacity of mast cells

Abstract: Mast cells play an important role in initiating and modulating allergic and inflammatory reactions. Their responsiveness is determined by three important factors: the expression of IgE receptors on the cell surface, the IgE occupancy of these receptors, and the intrinsic secretory capacity of the cells. In this review, we will summarise some findings relevant to these three aspects of mast cell function, and discuss possible regulatory mechanisms. It appears that the genetic background as well as environmental… Show more

“…Mast cells degranulation evokes local immediate hyperergic reaction [108,109]. This reaction starts when immunoglobulines, mainly IgE, are fixing to specific receptors of mast cells [110,111]. Cells producing IgE are localized in lymphoid tissue, ears, nose, oral cavity and upper respiratory tract mucous membrane [112].…”

“…As recently found, a small amount of IgE is produced spontaneously by healthy individuals and may conceivably play a regulatory role. This is indicated by the fact that the IgE receptors of most mast cells are occupied [65]. …”
