Abstract
Isolated dog mastocytoma cells sensitized with dog anti-ragweed IgE and challenged with ragweed antigen or incubated with ionophore A23187 or the carboxy-terminal dodecapeptide of platelet factor 4, PF4(59-70), release histamine and concurrently generate leukotrienes B4, C4, and D4. In contrast, the exposure of mastocytoma cells to 0.1-3 micrograms/ml of 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15-HETE) stimulates selectively the generation of leukotrienes, in the absence of histamine release, while 0.1-1 micrograms/ml of compound 48/80 releases histamine without enhancing the generation of leukotrienes. That natural stimuli are capable of selectively activating one synthetic or secretory compartment of mast cells suggests that separate subsets of receptors as well as different biochemical events may serve to mobilize each class of mediators.
