RESPIRATION OF RAT PERITONEAL MAST CELLS.
Methods for microgasometry of a few hundred mast cells are described. The Cartesian ampulla diver technique is used. The sample size is determined by counting the cells within the diver. The respiration rates at 37 degrees C, expressed in microliters per cell per hour, are 0.29 x 10(-6) without substrate and 0.47 x 10(-6) with glucose.
