Previously we have reported that rodent mast cells synthesize the mRNA encoding the u and f 3 integrin chains (u4, 61 and (37) of the lymphocyte Peyer's patch adhesion molecule (LPAM)-1 and LPAM-2 lymphocyte homing receptors, and that they possess an a4-containing integrin complex on their cell surf

Mice of genotype W/Wv have less than 1% of normal mast cells in the skin, stomach, and cecum. In order to further clarify the mechanism of this deficiency, we studied committed mast cell progenitors and multipotent progenitors, which are capable of mast cell differentiation in clonal culture. The re
Mast cells synthesize vasoactive agents and a number of neurotransmitters. They are particularly numerous in the medial habenular region of the epithalamus, the attachment site of the choroid plexus. The present study examined whether degranulation of brain mast cells alters the permeability of the
## Abstract Retinoids are ubiquitous signaling molecules that influence nearly every cell type, exert profound effects on development, and complement cancer chemotherapeutic regimens. Allβtrans retinoic acid (RA) and other active retinoids are generated from vitamin A (retinol), but key aspects of
Tropic actions of extracellular nucleotides and nucleosides have been described in both the central and peripheral nervous systems as well as for numerous other cell types. These effects on cellular differentiation and proliferation are mediated by specific cell surface PI and P2 receptors. In some
