Specific IgE sera screening studies are employed to investigate protein cross-reactivity. Such nonfunctional immunochemical methods cannot measure the biological activity of proteins. Therefore, an assay using RBL cells transfected with human Fc&RI was developed. Our objective was to evaluate the degranulation of three cell-lines expressing either the alpha-(RBL-hEI(a)-2B12 and RBL-30/25 cells) or alpha-, beta-, and gamma-subunits (RBL SX-38) of the human Fc epsilon RI by beta-hexosaminidase release. Purified human IgE and serumderived polyclonal IgE from peanut-allergic subjects following challenge with anti-IgE or peanut protein extract, respectively, were utilized. Robust degranulation was induced in all three: RBL-30/25 (84%), hEI(a)-2B12(54%), SX-38 (94%), respectively, using purified IgE + anti-human IgE. Good release (18%, 4045%, and 65%, respectively) occurred for one peanut-allergic subject + peanut extract with all cell-lines. With serum from three other peanut-allergic subjects, no beta-hexosaminidase release occurred with RBL-hEI(a)-2B12 cells + peanut extract, while only serum from one subject induced good degranulation, 30% and 60%, respectively, with RBL-30/25 and RBL SX 38 cells. Consistent degranulation with a potent food allergen (peanuts) was not observed. The assay's utility in safety assessment, predictive value and reproducibility for evaluating the cross-reactivity of proteins with allergens needs further investigation with additional proteins and well-characterized sera.
