Abstract excerpt
The C57BL/6 mouse differs from the BALB/c mouse in that its ear and skin mast cells and its progenitor bone marrow-derived mast cells (mBMMCs) do not express mouse mast cell protease (mMCP) 7. We now report that, as detected by nuclear run-on analysis, the mMCP-7 gene is transcribed in C57BL/6 mBMMCs at a rate comparable to that in BALB/c mBMMCs. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis and...
