University researchers purified and sequenced a long-sought IgE-dependent releaser of histamine. The recombinant protein caused IgE-dependent histamine release from human basophils.

Homologies of the sequence exist with a mouse protein called p21 and its human homolog p23, and the biological activities of these proteins corresponded with that of the human releasing factor, the researchers reported in Science. ...
