Fig. 5From: Recombinant ArtinM activates mast cellsActivation induced by rArtinM occurs through a CRD-dependent manner. By scanning electron microscopy (SEM) deep ruffles are observed on the surface of IgE sensitized mast cells after activation with DNP48-HSA and on the surface of rArtinM treated mast cells both in the absence or presence of IgE. When rArtinM was preincubated with D-mannose, the cells are in spindle-shape and covered by fine microvilli on surface, similar to unstimulated cells (Control). Bars = 10 μmBack to article page
