Abstract Mast cells are the main effector cells in IgE-associated allergic disorders, and we have reported that mucosal
mast cells (MMCs) play a more important role in the development of food allergy (FA). IgE with antigen or calcium
ionophore stimulation can lead to the activation of MMCs via a calcium-dependent pathway. The purpose of the
present study was to identify gene signatures with IgE/antigen (dinitrophenyl-bovine serum albumin, DNP-BSA) or
calcium ionophore (A23187) on the activation of MMCs. Differentially expressed genes between the two types of
samples were identified with microarray analysis. Gene ontology functional and pathway… More >
