6. CONCLUSIONS 1. We found that mast cell stimulation can induce PS externalization in the absence of secretory response. 2. We identified GPI-APs as molecules whose engagement can induce sustained and reversible non-apoptotic PS externalization. 3. GPI-AP-induced PS externalization was determined as non- apoptotic and distinct from the FceRl-induced PS externalization. 4. The effect of multiple triggering on PS externalization was additive and dependent on a tlpe of stimulus and cells engaged. 5. We identifred PLSCR1 as a molecule that becomes tyrosine phosphorylated in mast cells stimulated through GPI-APs. 6. We found that the PLSCR1 tyrosine phosphorylation is not associated with mast cell secretory response' and with GPI-AP- or FceRl-induced non-apoptotic PS externalization. 7. Using confocal microscopy and electron microscopy visualization of PLSCR1 in the course of mast cell activation we found that PLSCR1: (1) is not co-localized with extemalized PS, (2) is not co- localized with aggregated Thy-l.l or FceR[, and (3) does not form self-aggregates. 8. We děřelóped a modifred one-tube semi-nested PCR-ELISA. The modified assay showed higher sensitivity and specificity than the conventional hybridization-based and a modified semi-nested- based PCR-ELISA. Due to its versatility and robustness, the...
