RBL2H3 cell
Rat basophilic leukemia (RBL) cell line, obtained by Eccleston et al. and was maintained by serial passage in neonatal Wistar rats. Four cell lines (named RBL I-IV) were started from this tumor between 1973 and 1975. The subline RBL-IV HR+ was derived from RBL-IV, further subcloning established the cell line RBL-2H3. Cells are described to release histamine as an IgE-mediated reaction.
