Contact: Mary O'Reilly

Description: Mast cells are decorated with cell surface Fc receptors that act as anchor and signal transducer for the IgE antibodies that are bound to them. Signals are only triggered when IgE antibodies are cross-linked, such as when mast cells encounter allergens (Pollen, ragweed, etc.). This binding and signal transduction leads to an allergic response, with a burst of histamine, cytokines, proteolytic enzymes, and other factors from the cell interior.

Description: This image is the result of a commission by the New York Times for its Week In Review section, prior to the 2000 U.S. Presidental election. The painting is composed of a Donkey and an Elephant ""welded" together anatomically. As such, this transgenic animal is really a deliberate chimera functioning as piece of editorial illustration. At the time, the author of the accompanying article made a number of assertions virtually equating the broad and overarching agendas of the two major American political parties. Interested individuals might disagree with the author's positions when they are examined through the lenses of 20/20 hindsight.
