Cigarette Smoke Suppresses the Surface Expression of c-kit and FcεRI on Mast Cells
Figure 1
Long-term culture in presence of CSM reduces the density of mast cell granules. BMMCs from BALB/c mice were cultured in presence with medium only (a), CSM (1.5%) (b), or LPS (c) (1 μg/mL) during the third week of culturing bone marrow cells as described in Section 2. Cells were stained with toluidine blue.
