Specific activation of human mast cells by the ligand for c-kit: comparison between lung, uterus and heart mast cells.

abstract：BACKGROUND:High osmolal ionic radiocontrast media (RCM) cause vascular release of endothelin-1 (ET-1) and activate mast cells. Iomeprol, a nonionic RCM, has recently been reported not to activate cardiac mast cells. This coronary angiography study was performed to extend those findings using another nonionic RCM, iopro...
