2 FIG. 1 Expression of FcϵRIα mRNA in peripheral blood eosinophils of patients with nasal allergy and normal control subjects. See Table I for clinical details. PCR-assisted Southern blot analysis was performed as described in the text. Total RNA was isolated from fresh peripheral blood eosinophils. Sterilized water was used as a negative control. The human basophil cell line KU-812 was used as a positive control. Amounts of β-actin were adjusted to be almost equal between samples.

3 FIG. 2 Expression of FcϵRIα mRNA and histamine H2 receptor mRNA in eosinophil-rich samples. PCR-assisted Southern blot analysis was performed as described in the text. Note that both FcϵRIα mRNA and histamine H2 receptor mRNA are observed in the human basophil cell KU-812. Peripheral blood eosinophils, however, expressed FcϵRIα mRNA but not histamine H2 receptor mRNA. Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology  , DOI: ( /S (95) ) Copyright © 1995 Mosby, Inc.

4 FIG. 3 Effect of cytokines on the expression of FcϵRIα mRNA in peripheral blood eosinophils. Representative experiments. (A) Case 1 (nasal allergy). (B) Case 2 (nasal allergy). Total RNA was isolated from peripheral blood eosinophils after incubation for 6 hours with various concentrations of recombinant human IL-5, IL-4, IL-3, and and GM-CSF. PCR-assisted Southern blot analysis was performed as described in the text. Sterilized water was used as a negative control. The human basophil cell line KU-812 was used as a positive control. Amounts of β-actin were adjusted to be almost equal between samples. Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology  , DOI: ( /S (95) ) Copyright © 1995 Mosby, Inc. Terms and Conditions

6 FIG. 4 Effect of anti-monoclonal IL-4 antibody on the IL-4-induced enhancement in FcϵRIα mRNA levels. Eosinophils were incubated for 6 hours with 0.1 ng/ml recombinant human IL-4 in the presence or absence of various concentrations of anti-monoclonal IL-4 antibody.

7 FIG. 5 Immunostaining pattern of FcϵRIα-positive eosinophils purified from peripheral blood. Some eosinophils were FcϵRIα-positive, as shown in A. Almost all eosinophils were FcϵRIα-negative (B). The FcϵRI+ human basophil cell line KU812 (C) served as positive control. Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology  , DOI: ( /S (95) ) Copyright © 1995 Mosby, Inc. Terms and Conditions

8 FIG. 6 Demonstration of FcϵRIα-positive cells in cryostat sections of nasal mucosa. Many FcϵRIα-positive cells are visible from the epithelial layer to the deep layer (A). Some FcϵRIα-positive cells exhibited typical eosinophil structure with polylobed nuclei (C, arrows). No FcϵRIα-positive cells were observed when sections were incubated with isotype-matched control antibody (B).

10 FIG. 7 Demonstration of FcϵRIα and ECP double-positive cells in cryostat sections of nasal mucosa. Double-labeling immunostaining for FcϵRIα and ECP-positive cells was peerformed as described in the text. Note that some ECP-positive cells are FcϵRIα-positive (arrows).
