MrgprB2MUT mast cells are unresponsive to basic secretagogues and various therapeutic drugs.
a. Example traces showing changes in [Ca2+]i, as measured by Fluo-4 imaging, from WT and MrgprB2MUT peritoneal mast cells induced by the basic secretagogues from Figure 2e. Each trace is a response from a unique cell.
b. Representative Fluo-4 images (left) and fluorescence traces (right) from WT (top) and MrgprB2MUT (bottom) cultured peritoneal mast cells during application of icatibant (50 μg/ml).
c. Example traces showing changes in [Ca2+]i, as measured by Fluo-4 imaging, from WT and MrgprB2MUT peritoneal mast cells induced by selected FDA-approved cationic peptidergic drugs. Each trace is a response from a unique cell.
d. Representative Fluo-4 images (left) and fluorescence traces (right) from WT (top) and MrgprB2MUT (bottom) cultured peritoneal mast cells during application of atracurium (50 μg/ml).
e. Representative Fluo-4 images (left) and fluorescence traces (right) from WT (top) and MrgprB2MUT (bottom) cultured peritoneal mast cells during application of ciprofloxacin (200 μg/ml).
