    Figure 1. Time course of mRNA expression of IL-1 cyto- kines and receptors produced by cultured huMCs after ag- gregation of FcεRI. Cells were exposed to anti–NP-IgE over- night, followed by the addition of antigen () to paired cell cultures. Total RNA was isolated at the indicated times and the RPA was performed. A representative result is shown (A). To establish the identity of each protected fragment, the known size and migration distance of the unprotected probe was used to prepare a standard curve. Human control RNA (BD Pharmingen) was used as a positive control and yeast tRNA was used as a negative control. Semiquantification of <t>IL-1ra</t> (B), IL-1RI (C), and IL-1 (D) expression in huMCs before (open bars) or after (filled bars) aggregation of FcεRI was performed by measuring the band density of the relative expression of each mRNA with respect to L32 mRNA after each background was subtracted. IL-1RII and IL-1 mRNAs were below detection levels. For IL-1ra and IL-1 the results were repeated in five separate experiments through 8 h using cells cultured from different donors. These data are pre- sented as means SEM; *P 0.05, **P 0.005, ***P 0.001 compared with 0 time. The 4-h error bar in activated cells in D was too small to diagram.

    Figure 1. Time course of mRNA expression of IL-1 cyto- kines and receptors produced by cultured huMCs after ag- gregation of FcεRI. Cells were exposed to anti–NP-IgE over- night, followed by the addition of antigen () to paired cell cultures. Total RNA was isolated at the indicated times and the RPA was performed. A representative result is shown (A). To establish the identity of each protected fragment, the known size and migration distance of the unprotected probe was used to prepare a standard curve. Human control RNA (BD Pharmingen) was used as a positive control and yeast tRNA was used as a negative control. Semiquantification of IL-1ra (B), IL-1RI (C), and IL-1 (D) expression in huMCs before (open bars) or after (filled bars) aggregation of FcεRI was performed by measuring the band density of the relative expression of each mRNA with respect to L32 mRNA after each background was subtracted. IL-1RII and IL-1 mRNAs were below detection levels. For IL-1ra and IL-1 the results were repeated in five separate experiments through 8 h using cells cultured from different donors. These data are pre- sented as means SEM; *P 0.05, **P 0.005, ***P 0.001 compared with 0 time. The 4-h error bar in activated cells in D was too small to diagram.

Cells were incubated with RPMI 1640 alone as control (C), TNFα, IL-6, IFN-γ, IL-10 or TGFβ1. The concentration of cytokines in culture supernatants was determined by ELISA. The results represent two experiments, each performed from different cultures. P < 0·05.
