Growth and differentiation in vitro of mast cells from mesenteric lymph nodes of Nippostrongylus brasiliensis-infected rats.
Abstract
Intestinal mastocytosis begins to develop in rats, depending on the strain, at 14 (outbred Sprague-Dawley, SD) or 16 (inbred Lewis, L) days after infection with the nematode Nippostrongylus brasiliensis (Nippo). We have investigated in vitro mastopoiesis from mesenteric lymph node (MLN) cells cultured at various intervals post-infection, using a modified Marbrook liquid system. Greater increases in mast cells (MC) were observed in cultures of …
