Distribution of mast cells in intestinal muscle of nematode-sensitized rats
Abstract
We examined the distribution and functional integrity of mast cells in intestinal longitudinal muscle in rats sensitized by two previous infections with Trichinella spiralis. A segment of jejunum was excluded from the gut before infection, and the remainder of the gut was anastomosed. Few mast cells were seen in muscle of noninfected control rats except in the region of the jejunal anastomosis. In rats sensitized by T. spiralis infection, mast …
