## Abstract The presence and origin of mastβcell precursors fixed in the skin tissue of mice were investigated. Giant granules of beige (C57BL/6β__bg__^__j__^/__bg__^__j__^, ChediakβHigashi syndrome) mice were used to distinguish different populations of mast cells. Pieces of the skin were grafted
The skin of congenitally athymic nu/nu mice is rich in mast cells which stain metachromatically, contain histamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine, and participate in the PCA reaction. Mast cells of athymic mice have thus the attributes of normal mast cells.
