title: Some studies on the isolation and properties of pulmonary mast cells from the pig.
abstract: 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.
