Abstract

A soluble form of Fc epsilon RII/CD23 is spontaneously released from most lymphoblastoid cell lines established by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Such a product was purified on an IgE-Sepharose column and its pyrogenic effect was investigated in rabbits. This preparation induced a monophasic fever in rabbits, with a peak response appearing 75 min after injection. Since IgE was found to be capable of abrogating such an effect, it is suggested that IgE might be involved in the control of the effectiveness of this soluble protein.
