Stimulation of Mast Cell Chemotaxis
Connective tissue mast cells (CTMC) reside near to blood vessels in connective tissues and are found also in the peritoneal cavity in many species (1) . Once thought to be terminally differentiated cells, CTMC arenowknown to proliferate in response to activated spleen cell-conditioned medium (SCCM) or to a mixture of IL-3 and IL-4 (2, 3) . CTMC, which contain large quantities of heparin and his...
متن کاملIdentification of specific gene expression profiles in human mast cells mediated by Toll-like receptor 4 and FcepsilonRI.
Rodent mast cells (MCs) are reported to play a pivotal role in both innate and adaptive immunity. However, there is so far no evidence that human MCs are involved in innate immunity. We found that a functional Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) was expressed on human MCs when it was up-regulated by interferon gamma (IFN-gamma). To systematically explore how human MCs modulate the immune system followi...
متن کاملStimulation of mast cell chemotaxis by interleukin 3
PWM-activated spleen cell-conditioned medium (SCCM) and a variety of purified hematopoietic growth factors were tested for their ability to stimulate chemotaxis of mouse connective tissue mast cells (CTMC). Of the agents tested, only IL-3 and SCCM promoted mast cell chemotaxis. Neither IL-2, IL-4, GM-CSF, nor endotoxin had any significant mast cell chemotactic activity. Neutralizing antibodies ...
متن کاملNerve-mast cell and smooth muscle-mast cell interaction mediated by cell adhesion molecule-1, CADM1.
Mast cells are a native composer of connective tissue of the skin dermis and intestinal and respiratory mucosa. Independent lines of accumulated evidence indicate the existence of an intensive bidirectional crosstalk between mast cells and sensory nerves and suggest that mast cells and sensory nerves may be viewed as a functional unit, which could be of crucial importance in neuroimmunological ...
متن کاملMutant analysis of herpes simplex virus-induced cell surface antigens: resistance to complement-mediated immune cytolysis.
BHK-21 cells infected with temperature-sensitive mutants of herpes simplex virus type 1 strain KOS representing 16 complementation groups were tested for susceptibility to complement-mediated immune cytolysis at permissive (34 degrees C) and nonpermissive (39 degrees C) temperatures. Only cells infected by mutants in complementation group E were resistant to immune cytolysis in a temperature-se...
