Fc receptors bind tail region of IgE antibodies. • Histamine, proteases,
Tyrosine Kinases Lyn Syk
The Pathway • Binding of IgE • Aggregation of receptors
Lyn binds beta unit of one receptor and transphosphorylates the beta ITAM, gamma ITAM, and Syk associated with adjacent receptor. Syk can also phosphorylate syk associated with adjacent receptor Syk activation Cascade of reactions Degranulation
Inverse association between IgE and malignancies • IgE-mediated immune responses against tumor cells • IgE-based treatment options
But it wasn't so bad • Bngl easy to understand • Easy to define chemical reactions • Can manipulate molecule concentrations • Can set time period of reaction
