Differential expression of mast cell growth factor receptor (c-kit) by peritoneal connective tissue-type mast cells and tissue culture-derived mast cells.

abstract：:Anti-proteinase-3 (anti-PR3) or anti-myeloperoxidase (anti-MPO) antibodies are capable of activating human neutrophils primed by TNF-alpha in vitro. We described previously the involvement of FcgammaRIIa and beta(2) integrins in this neutrophil activation. In the literature, the requirement of TNF priming has been att...
