Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 3. IL-17A production from cultured synovium-derived MC following IgE- and IgG-dependent stimulation. (A) IgE-sensitized MCs from patients with OA (white bars, n ¼ 4 donors) or from patients with RA (black bars, n ¼ 4 donors) were incubated with anti-IgE for 6 h. (B) MCs from patients with OA (n ¼ 4 donors) were incubated with 1 mg/ml of F(ab0)2aFcgRI (black bars) or F(ab0)2mIgG1 (white bars) for 30 min and were then stimulated with gF(ab0)2amF(ab0)2 for 6 h. (C) MCs from patients with OA (n ¼ 6 donors) were stimulated with monomeric IgG or aggregated IgG for 6 h. (D) MCs from patients with OA (white bars, n ¼ 7 donors) and from patients with RA (black bars, n ¼ 4 donors) were stimulated with IL-33 for 6 h. (E, F) MCs from patients with OA (n ¼ 5e6 donors) were stimulated with anti-Fc
