We discovered that the IRE1α−targeting small molecule KIRA6 is a potent inhibitor of the SRC family kinases LYN and FYN. Thereby it prevents mast cell activation by blocking the antigen-triggered activation of the high affinity IgE receptor FcεRI. Thus, KIRA6 is able to abolish mast cell-mediated allergic responses. ABSTRACT Mast cell (MC)-driven allergic diseases are … Read more
