PG - 10-6 LID - S0165-2427(13)00029-9 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.vetimm.2013.01.008 [doi] AB - The binding of immunoglobulin E (IgE) to its high-affinity receptor (FcvarepsilonRI) is the central protein interaction in IgE-mediated allergic reactions. The cross-linking of the IgE/FcvarepsilonRI complex, through cognate allergens, on the surface of mast cells and basophil cells results in mediator release, and thus leads to the symptoms of type I hypersensitivity responses in mammals. To develop a baseline value for subsequent equine anti-allergy drug and vaccine research, the interaction of equine IgE with its high-affinity FcvarepsilonRI receptor was investigated following the cloning and expression of equine IgE with specificity for NIP-HSA (4-hydroxy-5-iodo-3-nitrophenylacetic acid conjugated to human serum albumin). Receptor recognition and effector functions were assessed in Rat Basophil Leukemia (RBL-2H3.1) cells transfected with the alpha chain of equine and canine FcvarepsilonRI. Results obtained showed that the equine FcvarepsilonRI receptor recognizes both equine and canine IgE and supports similar beta-hexosaminidase release levels from RBL cells transfected with equine FcvarepsilonRI, peaking at 36.68% at 100ngml(-1) antigen and 32.00% at 100ngml(-1) antigen respectively. Furthermore, the binding kinetics of the equine IgE to the equine FcvarepsilonRI receptor and the canine IgE to the same receptor was measured to be KA=6.33x10(9)M(-1) and KA=1.84x10(9)M(-1) respectively. This research established basic reagents and vitro assay systems to underpin the development of rational therapeutic intervention strategies to combat equine allergic manifestations.
