Distinguishing Mast Cell Progenitors from Mature Mast Cells in Mice

Mast cells originate from the bone marrow and develop into c-kit+ FcɛRI+ cells. Both mast cell progenitors (MCp) and mature mast cells express these cell surface markers, and ways validated to distinguish between the two maturation forms with flow cytometry have been lacking. Here, we show that prim...
