Figure 5. Expression of FcεRI α- and γ-chain but not β-chain mRNA in human intestinal epithelial cells.

The expression pattern of the FcεRI complex was analyzed by real-time PCR analysis using specific primers for detection of (A) FcεRI α-, β- (not shown), and (B) γ-chain. Target gene expression levels were normalized to the average of housekeeping genes and are depicted relative to the value of subconfluent Caco-2/TC7 cells. The values are presented as means +/− SD (n = 3) from one experiment. The results are representative of two independent experiments.
