Aim: To clone and express the gene encoding rat IgE-dependent histamine-releasing factor (rHRF) and to study the effect of recombinant rHRF to induce histamine release from rat sensitized mast cells.
Methods: The complete coding region of rHRF was cloned and expressed in BL21 cells. The soluble recombinant rHRF was purified. Aliquots of the mast cells obtained from the lungs of OVA-immunized rats were separately stimulated by recombinant rHRF at different concentration. The released histamine was measured by the OPT spectrofluorometric procedure.
Results: The cloned DNA fragment showed 97% nucleotide sequence identity and 95% deduced amino acid sequence identity with the mRNA of rat IgE-dependent histamine-releasing factor (or translationally controlled tumor protein) in GenBank. The recombinant rHRF showed a relative molecular mass of 24 000 in SDS-PAGE. The purified rHRF which was independent of the allergen induced histamine releasing from the sensitized mast cells in a dose-dependent manner.
Conclusion: The recombinant rHRF, which showed the effect of inducing histamine release from sensitized mast cells, would play an important role in the allergen diseases.

Article Synopsis
- Poultry red mites (PRMs), tropical fowl mites (TFMs), and northern fowl mites (NFMs) are blood-feeding pests that seriously affect poultry welfare and production worldwide.
- The study focuses on histamine release factor (HRF), a promising vaccine antigen, and its effectiveness across different types of avian mites.
- Researchers found that antibodies against HRFs from TFMs, NFMs, and PRMs showed cross-reactivity, leading to higher mortality in PRM nymphs when exposed to immune plasma, indicating potential for a universal vaccine against these mites.

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a potentially fatal disease, in which the treatment based on chemotherapy is considered toxic. The cure of disease is associated with the life-long Th1-type immunity against the infection. The Th1-related cytokines production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) seems to be crucial for host control of parasite load and clinical cure.

We previously described a Dermacentor varibialis (DV) cDNA that encodes a ubiquitously expressed and tick saliva-secreted functional histamine release factor (HRF) homolog. In this study gene specific primers based on DVHRF open reading frame nucleotide sequence were utilized to amplify three orthologs, from the wood tick, D. andersoni (DA), the black legged tick, the southern cattle tick, Boophilus microplus (BM) and the lone star tick, Amblyomma americanum (AA).

Paeonol, a major phenolic component of Moutan Cortex, was known to have antiaggregatory, antioxidant and antiinflammatory activities. In the present study, we tried to elucidate the effects of paeonol on anaphylactic reaction and its mode of action. Paeonol significantly inhibited histamine release from the rat peritoneal mast cells (RPMCs) treated with compound 48/80, a mast cell degranulator.
