Proliferation of murine mast cells is induced by both T-cell-derived and fibroblast-derived growth factors. Because the most potent T-cell-derived mast cell growth factor, interleukin-3, promotes the migration of mast cells, we investigated whether fibroblast-derived growth factors had the chemoattractive activity as well. Conditioned medium (CM) of BALB/3T3 fibroblasts induced the migration of cultured mast...
