In spite of the apparent depletion of mast cells in tissues of mutant mice of W/W" genotype, cells with many features of mast cells do develop when bone marrow cells of W/W" mice are cultured in the presence of pokeweed mitogen-stimulated spleen cell-conditioned medium (PWM-SCM). In order to resolve
A simple method for determining histamine and polyamines in various tissues was devised. The method, however, could not be applied to calcified tissues, because the high concentration of Ca2+ in the extract interferes with the chromatographic separation of these amines. By treating the extracts from
The osteopetrotic, microphthalmic (mi/mi) mouse lacks functional osteoclasts and has also been reported to be deficient in mast cells and natural-killer (NK) cells. The later deficiencies could be secondary to the osteopetrotic marrow, or a direct result of the mi allele. Therefore, heterozygotes we
