Abstract

IgE/FcεRI signal pathway plays a crucial role in triggering allergic reactions, and there is no cross-recognition between IgE and FcεRI in human and rats. In order to obtain the hFcεRIα/ RBL-2H3 cell line, total RNA was extracted from U937 cells, and the human FcεRIα gene was obtained by RT-PCR technology. Then the amplified product was digested and inserted into the pIRES2-EGFP vector. After the plasmid was transfected into the RBL-2H3 cells using lipofectamine, and the RBL-2H3 cell lines of stable expression were screened by G418. The transfection efficiency reached 60.45% with optimizing transfection parameters. The last the expression of hFcεRIα was detected by RT-PCR, western blotting and fluorescent microscopy. The present results demonstrated that the pIRES2-EGFP-hFcεRIα vector was constructed and a stable cell line of hFcεRIα/ RBL-2H3 cells was established successfully. This cell line is promising tools for further research on the pathogenesis and drug development of allergic diseases.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
