Research Abstract

Mast cells are a kind of immune cells, which are widely distributed throughout the body, and are different in character depending on where they are resident. The functional roles of mature mast cells were investigated in this study using a novel culture model for mature mast cells. Mature mast cells were found to acquire the ability to respond to non-IgE stimuli, whereas they exhibited lower responses to IgE-dependent antigen stimulation. These findings suggest that appropriate culture models for tissue mature mast cells should be required for clarification of their immune modulatory functions.
