Abstract excerpt
IL-9 transgenic mice were analyzed for the presence of mast cells in different tissues. In these mice, increased mast cell infiltration was found in the gastric and intestinal epithelium as well as in the upper airways and kidney epithelium, but not in other organs, such as skin. IL-9 transgenic mast cells do not show signs of massive degranulation such as that found in IL-4 transgenic mice and are not involved...
