Maturation of mast cell progenitors to mucosal mast cells during allergic pulmonary inflammation in mice

In contrast to resident constitutive mast cells (CMCs), mucosal MCs (MMCs) appear in lung and trachea of sensitized mice only following inhalation challenge. We monitored the influx and maturation of MCs by their expression of Kit, FcεRI, β7 integrin and side scatter (SSC) by flow cytometry. Influx...
