β¦ Synopsis
Receptors for somatostatin (SOW were identified on mouse bone marrow derived mast cells (MBMMC) and shown to vary in expression with the state of proliferation and differentiation of the MBMMC. Flow cytometric studies of the binding of fluoresceinlabeled SOM and concurrent analyses of the binding of ['251]SOM demonstrated that the population of MBMMC capable of recognizing SOM specifically is that exhibiting a proliferative response to interleukin-3. The MBMMC that bound SOM reached a maximal number at 72 hr following the addition of interleukin-3, and were distributed principally in the Gz/M phase of the cell cycle. SOM did not influence directly the proliferative responses of MBMMC to interleukin-3. The level of expression of SOM receptors thus may reflect the state of differentiation of mast cells, as well as determining the functional sensitivity to the inhibitory effects of SOM.

Bone marrow cells in liquid culture with interleukin 3 produce a population of non-adherent granulocytes and mast cells. Flow cytometry was used to identify granulocytes and mast cells on the basis of the physical properties of perpendicular light scatter (PLS) and coulter volume (CV) as well as the
