title: Comparison of the receptors for IgE of various rat basophilic leukaemia cell lines. II. Studies with different anti-receptor antisera.
abstract: Receptors for IgE of rat basophilic leukaemia (RBL) cells, maintained in different laboratories were isolated by means of various anti-receptor antisera, and characterized by sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Most antisera were shown to react with a receptor designated H and which, as shown previously, could be isolated by IgE-Sepharose but not by a combination of IgE and anti-IgE. Only two highly purified anti-receptor antibody preparations, which had been purified by adsorption to and elution from rat basophilic leukaemia cells, reacted primarily with a second kind of receptor molecule which had previously been designated R. Some indirect evidence was obtained which suggests that H is a highly immunogenic molecule. It was confirmed that the apparent molecular weight of H-like molecules varied on different RBL cell lines.
