PE-labeled positively anti-IA antibody stained (IA+) cells were detected using an FL-2 detector. These IA+ cells were 10–20% of the PI-negative cultured epidermal cells (Fig. 1). Freshly isolated epidermal cells contained about 5–10% of IA+ cells (date not shown). After gating out these PI-negative and IA+ cells, their FL-1 intensity (antimouse FcεRI+ FITC antihamster IgG or FITC mouse IgE) was evaluated. Figure 2 shows the FL-1 intensity of IA+ cells among the freshly isolated epidermal cells. These IA+ cells did not express any detectable FcεRI on the cell surface as compared with isotypic control (hamster IgG) staining, nor could we detect binding of FITC-labeled mouse IgE to the IA+ cells. Figure 3 shows the FL-1 intensity of IA+ cells among the cultured epidermal cells. We could not detect FcεRI expressing IA+ cells in cultured epidermal cell suspensions. The addition of IL-4 failed to induce FcεRI on the IA+ cells. At the protein level, we could not detect FcεRI on the cell surface of Langerhans cells.Next, we tried to detect FcεRI mRNA in epidermal cells. Total RNA of epidermal cells was prepared as previously described. The total RNA (5 mg) was subjected to reverse transcription using a superscript RT kit (Gibco BRL) according to the manufacturer’s instruction. Amplification of the cDNA was performed by polymerase chain reaction with a DNA thermal cycler (Perkin Elmer Cetus).
