Popis: Phosphotyrosine-containing proteins were detected by western blotting of whole cell lysates of purified human neutrophils or rat basophilic leukemia cells (RBL-2H3) using a polyclonal anti-phosphotyrosine antibody. When either cell type was stimulated with the appropriate Fc crosslinking agent, heat-aggregated IgG for the neutrophil or DNP-HSA for the IgE-sensitized RBL-2H3, a rapid increase in the phosphotyrosine content of several proteins was observed. The kinetics and specificity of both responses suggest that Fc receptor crosslinking activates a receptor-associated tyrosine kinase, probably a member of the src family of tyrosine protein kinases. The subsequent tyrosine phosphorylation events are likely to be important in Fc receptor-mediated stimulus-response coupling in inflammatory cells.
