Antigen but not KL induces translocation of PKC. Human mast cells were incubated overnight in the presence of IgE and in the absence of KL and IL-6, as described in the legend for Figure 1, and then either not stimulated or stimulated with 100 ng/mL antigen (Ag), KL, or both stimulants for 5 minutes. Immunoblots were prepared from the membrane fraction of whole-cell lysates using antibodies against the indicated isoforms of PKC, phosphorylated PKCα/β [p-PKC (α+β)], or phosphorylated pan-PKC [p-PKC (pan)]. The photographs were overexposed to maximize detection of membrane bound PKC in KL-stimulated cells. Identical results were obtained in 2 other experiments.
