IV. Functional association between the receptors for IgE. PG - 1766-73 AB - Rat basophilic leukemia cells (RBL-2H3) have receptors for immunoglobulin E (IgE) and immunoglobulin G (IgG). These receptors for IgE mediate the endocytosis of chemically or immunochemically cross-linked IgE but not monomeric IgE. However, unoccupied receptors were endocytosed with cross-linked IgE. To further assess the degree and specificity of the observed coendocytosis, we exposed cells carrying monomeric rat IgE and monomeric mouse IgE anti-DNP to a DNP-protein conjugate. We found that up to 30% of the surface-bound monomeric rat IgE redistributed at 0 to 4 degrees C and was then internalized at 37 degrees C with the immunochemically cross-linked mouse IgE. To assess the specificity of the coendocytosis, we exposed cells carrying monomeric rat IgE to immunochemically cross-linked mouse IgG. We found that the binding, patching, and endocytosis of cross-linked mouse IgG had no effect on the monomerically bound rat IgE. The rate of coendocytosis was the same as the rate of endocytosis (t 1/2 3 to 5 min). The extent of coendocytosis depended on the extent of endocytosis but was relatively insensitive to changes in the ratio between mouse and rat IgE over a broad range. These results indicate that some of the receptors for IgE are associated in a specific fashion.
