T Helper Cell Type 2 Cytokines Coordinately Regulate Immunoglobulin E–Dependent Cysteinyl Leukotriene Production by Human Cord Blood–Derived Mast Cells: Profound Induction of Leukotriene C4 Synthase Expression by Interleukin 4

Human mast cells (hMCs) derived in vitro from cord blood mononuclear cells exhibit stem cell factor (SCF)-dependent comitogenic responses to T helper cell type 2 (Th2) cytokines. As cysteinyl leukotriene (cys-LT) biosynthesis is a characteristic of immunoglobulin (Ig)E-activated mucosal hMCs, we spe...
