Human lung mast cells, like peripheral blood basophils, can have a nonreleaser phenotype characterized by a failure to respond to FcεRI-IgE-mediated stimulation (1). Previous studies on human basophils demonstrated that approximately 10–15% of donors fail to release histamine in response to FcεRI crosslinking (2–5) and that depressed protein levels of the tyrosine kinase Syk correlated with this nonreleaser status (6; 7). Here we present evidence for diminished Syk protein in a second preparation of lung mast cells with a nonreleasing phenotype.Mast cells were isolated from discarded surgical lung obtained within 24 h of surgery as approved by the VCU IRB. Mast cells were dispersed by mincing the lung and digesting the pieces with collagenase and hyaluronidase, enriched by Percoll density-dependent sedimentation, and purified to> 95% purity by positive selection using mouse IgG anti-Kit mAb and bead-conjugated anti-mouse Ab.
