Histamine [HA] release from basophils is an in vitro model for immediate hypersensitivity. The rat basophilic leukemia (RBL) cells are useful for studies of the structure and binding characteristics of the receptor for IgE. The RBL cell lines were cloned and the various sublines compared for their chromosome number, IgE-mediated HA release and for IgE surface receptors. Cell lines started from tumors at different times vary in both their chromosome number and their ability to release HA by an IgE-mediated reaction. RBL-I and III have .apprx. 44 chromosomes and did not respond to an IgE-mediated reaction, whereas RBL-II and RBL-IV have 68-73 chromosomes and showed moderate levels of HA release (percent release .hivin.x [average value] = 5 .+-. 2 and 10 .+-. 4, respectively). The cloning of the RBL-IV line resulted in some sublines which were excellent HA releasers (range 39-100%) and some which were relatively refractory (< 10%) to IgE-mediated HA release. These clones did not differ significantly in chromosome number. Recloning the releasing lines gave rise to poor releasers; the recloning of poor releasers did not produce good releasers indicating that the mutational drift in culture is toward loss of HA-releasing capacity. The IgE receptor number and the rate of IgE association and dissociation were similar for the different cell lines. The study failed to disclose significant MW differences in the IgE receptor for the various clones and sublines indicating that the failure to release probably does not reside in the receptor. The various cloned sublines are phenotypically stable, and the isolation of excellent HA-releasing sublines are useful for studies of the complex phenomenon of HA release.
