From: IgE alone promotes human lung mast cell survival through the autocrine production of IL-6
Amplification plots for quantitative real time RT-PCR demonstrating the heterogeneity of IL-6 mRNA expression. A) Amplification plot of a donor with low expression of IL-6 mRNA even after IgE stimulation and no Ct in the control cells. B) Amplification plot of a donor with higher expression of IL-6 mRNA including constitutive expression in the unstimulated cells. All donors exhibited upregulation of mRNA expression with the addition of IgE.
