Mast Cells (Allergy and Asthma)

Cells, which synthesize and store histamines, found in most body tissues, particularly just below the epithelial surfaces, serous cavities and around blood vessels. In an allergic response, an allergen stimulates the release of antibodies, which attach themselves to mast cells.

Mast Cells (Food)

Ssue cells which when connected to immunoglobulin E antibodies release histamine or other substances causing allergic symptoms.

Mast Cells (Health)

Mast Cells (Human Body)

white blood cells containing granules of chemicals including histamine, important in inflammatory responses.

Mast Cells (Naturopathic)

These are a group of cells that line the capillaries of tissues that come in contact with the outside, like skin, sinuses, and lung mucosa. They, like their first cousin basophils, are produced in the red bone marrow and migrate to the appropriate tissues, where they stay. They bind IgE, supply the histamine and heparin response that gives you a healing inflammation, and cause allergies.
