Effects of a Moderately Lower Temperature on the Proliferation and Degranulation of Rat Mast Cells

Figure 1

Purification of rat peritoneal mast cells. ((a) and (b)) Purified rat peritoneal mast cells were examined by phase-contrast microscopy at different magnification rates. (c) c-Kit expression by peritoneal cells before (line) and after (solid) purification was carried out by flow cytometric analysis. ((d)–(f)) Rat peritoneal cells either unpurified (d) or following purification ((e) and (f)) were stained with toluidine blue and examined by microscopy.
