| Research Abstract |
We have revealed the Zn wave, FcεRI-mediated intracellular Zn elevation upon antigen stimulation in mast cells. In this study, we further revealed that Zn-permeable voltage-gated L-type calcium channel(LTCC) is the channel for the Zn wave. In addition, LTCC-antagonist treatment suppressed the delayed-type hypersensitivity in mice, suggesting that LTCC might be the novel regulator for the cytokine production in mast cell.
