Sensitization of RBL-2H3 mast cells with monomeric fluorescein-5-isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled immunoglobulin E (IgE) results in slow but highly efficient accumulation of labeled IgE fragments in a pool of acidic peripheral vesicles that are visible by fluorescence microscopy after raising endosomal pH with ammonium chloride. Stimulation of cells containing these FITC-IgE fragments by aggregation of high affinity receptors for IgE (FcepsilonRI) or by Ca2+ ionophore and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate results in release of FITC fluorescence from the cells, which can be monitored continuously with a spectrofluorometer. The fluorescence release process corresponds to cellular degranulation: it is prevented under conditions that prevent stimulated beta-hexosaminidase release, and these two processes exhibit the same antigen dose-dependence and kinetics. Pulse-chase labeling reveals that aggregation of FITC-IgE bound to FcepsilonRI at the cell surface causes internalization and delivery to the regulated secretory vesicles with a high efficiency similar to monomeric IgE-FcepsilonRI, but more rapidly. Binding of Cy3-modified IgE to FcepsilonRI results in labeling of the same secretory vesicles as in FITC-IgE-sensitized cells, and these Cy3-labeled vesicles can be observed by fluorescence microscopy without neutralization of intracellular compartments. Simultaneous three-photon microscopy of serotonin fluorescence and two-photon microscopy of Cy3 fluorescence reveals that these Cy3-labeled vesicles coincide with serotonin-labeled secretory granules. After stimulation of the cells via aggregation of IgE-FcepsilonRI or addition of Ca2+ ionophore and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, depletion of the Cy3 label from the intracellular vesicles is observed with confocal microscopy. These results provide strong evidence for the lysosomal nature of secretory granules in these cells. In addition, they provide the basis for a direct, real-time method for monitoring single cell degranulation.
