Abstract:
Rat skin mast cell (MC) number and density change due to the postmortem storage of the material at 6-8 degrees C during a 19-day period. Both the number and the density of the MC in the 200 microm thick subepidermal layer decreased with the square of the time (p > or = 0.99). The count and the density may be used interchangeably in topographic studies of the rat MC.
