Effects of FK506 and cyclosporin A on proliferation, histamine release and phenotype of murine mast cells.

Abstract excerpt

Using mouse peritoneal cavity mast cells, we investigated the effects of FK506 and cyclosporin A (CsA) on cell proliferation and histamine release induced by anti-IgE antibody, calcium ionophore (A23 187), or neuropeptide (substance P). Both FK506 and CsA inhibited cytokine-dependent mast cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. The inhibitory effects of these compounds on mast cell proliferation was...
