Use of Engineered Nanoparticles (ENPs) for the Study of High-Affinity IgE FcεRI Receptor Engagement and Rat Basophilic Leukemia (RBL) Cell Degranulation.
2020
Degranulation of mast cells and basophils occurs after the cross-linking of FceRI receptor-bound IgE by multivalent allergens, resulting in the release of a range of de novo synthesized and preformed mediators of the allergic response. β-Hexosaminidase release is usually measured as a simple readout for degranulation. Furthermore, the rat basophilic leukemia (RBL)-2H3 cell line is commonly used for measuring degranulation, monitoring β-hexosaminidase release. Here, we describe surface-engineered and modified nanoparticles with specific ligands in order to study the signaling and cellular responses of the RBL-2H3 cell line.
