Abstract excerpt
Intraperitoneal injection of bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) has therapeutic efficacy against acute bacterial peritonitis. For this role, BMMCs need to settle down the mesentery from the peritoneal cavity. Interaction between BMMCs and the mesentery was examined by using mast cell deficient WBB6F1(F1)-W/Wv [c-kit receptor tyrosine kinase (KIT) mutant], F1-Sl/Sld [KIT ligand stem cell factor mutant], and...
