BACKGROUND: Mast cells (MC) are multifunctional effector cells of the immune system. They derive from uncommitted CD34(+) hemopoietic progenitor cells (HPC). Depending on the stage of maturation and the environment, MC variably express differentiation- and activation-linked antigens. Little is known, however, about the regulation of expression of such antigens in immature human MC. METHODS: We analyzed expression...
