摘要: Mast cells, when activated, release a spectrum of mediators that initiate and modulate immediate-type hypersensitivity reactions. Recently is has been reported expression mast cell neutral proteases, specific markers regulated by various growth factors. Human like those in rodents, are now known to produce cytokines IgE production inflammation.
