1 Molecular determinants of allergen-induced effector cell degranulation
Anna Gieras, MSc, Margarete Focke-Tejkl, PhD, Tanja Ball, PhD, Petra Verdino, PhD, Arnulf Hartl, PhD, Josef Thalhamer, PhD, Rudolf Valenta, MD  Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology  Volume 119, Issue 2, Pages (February 2007) DOI: /j.jaci Copyright © 2007 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Localization of the P1 peptide in the context of the 3-dimensional structure of Phl p 1 visualized by means of surface (A-D) and backbone (E-H) representations. The 2 Phl p 1 monomers are shown in light gray and dark gray, and N- and C-termini are indicated. The P1 peptide comprising amino acids of Phl p 1 has been colored, and the amino acids have been numbered.

3 Fig 2 A, Levels of binding (mean OD values, y-axis) of the Phl p 1–specific monoclonal IgE to Phl p 1 and Phl p 1–derived peptides (x-axis). B and C, SDS-PAGE containing allergens (rPhl p 1 and rBet v 1) and peptide preparations (P1 monomer and P1 dimer) under reducing (Fig 2, B) and nonreducing (Fig 2, C) conditions. Molecular weights are displayed in kilodaltons at the margin.

4 Fig 3 A, Induction of β-hexosaminidase release is displayed on RBL cells with rPhl p 1 and nPhl p 1. RBL cells were sensitized with mouse monoclonal IgE against the Phl p 1–derived peptide P1 (amino acids ) and stimulated with increasing concentrations of allergens (x-axis). β-Hexosaminidase release is displayed on the y-axis. B, Allergenic activity of P1 monomer, P1 dimer, and P1 polymers. Sensitized RBL cells were stimulated with increasing concentrations of the peptides (x-axis), and the percentage of β-hexosaminidase release is displayed on the y-axis.

5 Fig 4 Factors affecting magnitude of mediator release and cellular sensitivity. The magnitude of β-hexosaminidase release (y-axis) depends on the titers of IgE used for loading the cells. RBL cells loaded with different concentrations of IgE (1:50, 1:500, and 1:2000) were exposed to different concentrations of P1 dimer ( μg/mL in A and μg/mL in B, x-axis).

6 Fig 5 Preincubation of the monoclonal P1-specific IgE with the P1 monomer inhibits binding to rPhl p 1. The P1-specific IgE was preincubated with increasing concentrations (x-axis) of the P1 monomer, control peptide P5, or buffer alone. OD values (y-axis) correspond to the amount of IgE bound to immobilized rPhl p 1.

7 Fig 6 P1 monomer inhibits P1 polymer–induced β-hexosaminidase release. Sensitized RBL cells were incubated with increasing doses of P1 monomer (x-axis) and subsequently exposed to P1 polymer, and the percentage of released β-hexosaminidase was recorded (y-axis).
