Proinflammatory and Th2 cytokines regulate the high affinity IgE receptor (FcepsilonRI) and IgE-dependant activation of human airway smooth muscle cells.
BACKGROUND:The high affinity IgE receptor (FcepsilonRI) is a crucial structure for IgE-mediated allergic reactions. We have previously demonstrated that human airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells express the tetrameric (alphabetagamma2) FcepsilonRI, and its activation leads to marked transient increases...
