Some studies on the isolation and properties of pulmonary mast cells from the pig.
Mast cells were isolated by the enzymic dissociation of lung tissue from the pig. The responses of these cells to a variety of histamine liberators and anti-allergic drugs were examined. On the basis of these findings, the possible use of porcine pulmonary mast cells in the study of immediate hypersensitivity reactions is discussed.
