The crosslinking of IgE-bound Fc{varepsilon}RI by multivalent allergens initiates mast cell and basophil signaling underlying Type 1 allergy. Yet, how allergen properties and IgE occupancy impact receptor aggregation and downstream signaling remain unclear. We used Phl p 1-specific IgE and recombinant fusion proteins presenting a Phl p 1-derived peptide in defined valencies and positions (MB1N, MB2N, MB4N, MB1N1C) to probe antigen-dependent signaling. Tetravalent MB4N evoked stronger degranulation and Ca2+ response than bivalent antigens, MB2N and MB1N1C. MB4N was also capable of signaling at low IgE occupancy and in Lyn-deficient cells. Monte Carlo simulations predicted that MB4N forms larger, complex receptor aggregates, while MB2N and MB1N1C produce dimers and linear chains. Consistently, addition of MB4N showed larger aggregates by electron microscopy and slower mobility by single particle tracking, compared to bivalent antigens. Thus, allergen valency and epitope spatial arrangement dictate Fc{varepsilon}RI aggregate organization and subsequent effector cell activation.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
