RBL-2H3 cells were obtained from the cell bank of the Chinese Academy of Science (catalog number TCR7), cultured and maintained at 37 °C in growth medium containing RPMI, 2 mM l-glutamine, 2 mM nonessential amino acids, 100 units ml−1 penicillin, 100 μg ml−1 streptomycin, and 10% fetal bovine serum. For IgE and antigen activation, RBL-2H3 cells were first treated with mouse-IgE antibody (Sigma-Aldrich, catalog number D8406) at 400 ng ml−1 for 2 h at 37 °C. Followed by 3× wash with warm phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) buffer, cells were stimulated with 400 ng ml−1 DNP-albumin (Sigma-Aldrich).
