Mast cell heterogeneity: evidence that mast cells isolated from various connective tissue locations in the rat display markedly graded phenotypes.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Mast cell-released chemical mediators such as histamine, leukotriene (LT) C(4) and prostaglandin (PG) D(2) lead to the onset of allergic disorders. ATP provided from glycolysis is essential for histamine release and LTC(4) secretion from mast cells upon Fc epsilon RI cross-linking, indicating that glucose is...
