ABSTRACT
To study the effects of connective tissue mast cells ( CTMCs ) on T cell activation in an antigen-dependent manner.Methods: Connective tissue mast cells were differentiated from mouse bone marrow cells.Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated ovalbumin (OVA)/IgG immune complexes were generated and incubated with CTMCs ,and analyzed by flow cytometry to detect the antigen uptake by CTMCs via Fcγreceptors ( FcγRs ).The relevant effects on antigen-specific T cell activation and proliferation were further determined by CD 69 and Ki67 expression.Results: A magnificent increase in OVA uptake was seen in CTMCs treated with OVA/IgG immunocomplex after 24-hour incubation ,compared with that treated with fluorescent OVA alone.OVA-incorporated mast cells induced OVA-specific CD4+T-cell activation and proliferation.Conclusion:It was suggested that the binding of IgG receptor FcγRs could elicit CTMCs reaction and ,as a result,to mediate crosstalk between professional APCs and T cells.
