Functional characterization of mast cells generated in vitro from the mesenteric lymph node of rats infected with Nippostrongylus brasiliensis.
Abstract
We have examined the biochemical and functional characteristics of mast cells grown in tissue culture from the mesenteric lymph node (MLN) of rats infected with the nematode Nippostrongylus brasiliensis and compared them with mast cells isolated from the small intestinal mucosa and peritoneal cavity of infected animals. Cultured mast cells (MC) and isolated intestinal mucosal mast cells (MMC) had a similar histamine content, and both contained …
