One of the most powerful effector mechanisms of the immune system is the reaction initiated by IgE-dependent tissue stimulation of mast cells and basophils. When antigen binds surface IgE on these cells, there is a rapid release of histamine and other mediators that collectively initiate immediate hypersensitivity. This effect is part of a larger response called the late phase reaction (LPR). An IgE-dependent Histamine Releasing Factor (HRF) is present in biological fluids of allergic patients. It causes the release of histamine in IgE-producing cell preparations, where non IgE-producing cells of the same origin do not release histamine. HRF has been reported to be observed as a 21 kDa or 23 kDa protein produced in mouse and human cell lines, respectively. Its sequence does not predict a secretory form, but HRF is found in biological fluids. Neither the exact function of this protein nor the method of its secretion is known.

1.Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
2.Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing. .
