How the thymus shaped immunology and beyond.

abstract：:Mucosal mast cells (MMCs) have an important role in allergic inflammation, and effective antagonists are required for their regulation. To discover a possible mechanism of controlling the activation of MMCs, we investigated the expression and function of syntaxin4, one of the soluble membrane N-ethylmaleimide-sensitiv...
