Abstract excerpt
Coculture of mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMC) with fibroblasts in the presence of stem cell factor (SCF) facilitates morphological and functional maturation toward a connective tissue mast cell (CTMC)-like phenotype. By means of cDNA subtraction, we identified several inducible genes during this mast cell maturation process. Of approximately 100 sequenced clones induced, nearly 50% were chromosome...
