Human recombinant interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) significantly increased the expression of receptors for IgE (Fc epsilon RII) on blood platelets. Fc epsilon RII was measured by specific binding of 125I-labeled IgE or flow cytometry experiments. Scatchard analysis of 125I-labeled IgE binding curves revealed that treatment with IFN-gamma increased the number of Fc epsilon RII but did not change the value of the association constant of Fc epsilon RII for 125I-labeled IgE. IFN-alpha had no effect on the expression or affinity of Fc epsilon RII. In addition to Fc epsilon RII, IFN-gamma also modified the expression of the glycoprotein IIb-IIIa complex on the platelet membrane.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007073 Immunoglobulin E An immunoglobulin associated with MAST CELLS. Overexpression has been associated with allergic hypersensitivity (HYPERSENSITIVITY, IMMEDIATE). IgE
D007371 Interferon-gamma The major interferon produced by mitogenically or antigenically stimulated LYMPHOCYTES. It is structurally different from TYPE I INTERFERON and its major activity is immunoregulation. It has been implicated in the expression of CLASS II HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in cells that do not normally produce them, leading to AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES.

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
