FceRI density and spontaneous secretion from human basophils.
Mast cells and basophils depend on aggregation of the high-affinity IgE receptor, FceRI, to initiate secretion. A variety of studies have shown that FceRI densities vary 100 fold among subjects' basophils and it has been speculated that high densities might be responsible for unusual behaviors...
