Transcriptomic profiling of human peripheral blood-derived mast cells

Here, we characterized the transcriptome of MCs under steady state, immunoglobulin E (IgE)-sensitized and anti-IgE-treated conditions. Overall design: MCs were left untreated or sensitized overnight with myeloma-IgE (0.5 µg/ml) and treated with anti-IgE (1 µg/ml) for 2h. RNA was isolated with Trizol and RNeasy columns and RNA-seq was performed.
