Effects of yolkin on the immune response of mice and its plausible mechanism of action.

abstract：:When dimerized by Stem Cell Factor (SCF), the Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Kit triggers the proliferation of hematopoietic progenitors, including pro-B cells, and of some differentiated cells, including mast cells. We found previously that anti-Kit antibodies can mimic SCF and that anti-Kit-induced mast cell proliferation...
