09:07Analyzing the Functions of Mast Cells In Vivo Using 'Mast Cell Knock-in' Mice
11.0K
We describe a method for the generation of in vitro derived mast cells, their engraftment into mast cell-deficient mice, and the analysis of the phenotype, numbers and distribution of engrafted mast cells at different anatomical sites. This protocol can be used to assess the functions of mast cells in...

16:01Investigating Mast Cell Secretory Granules; from Biosynthesis to Exocytosis
13.7K
The goal of the present protocol was to develop a method that will allow functional genomic analyses of mast cell secretion. The protocol is based on quantitative assessment of the release of a fluorescent reporter gene cotrasfected with the gene of interest and real time analyses of the secretory granule's...

04:08Mast Cell Degranulation Assay to Study the Effect of a Target Chemical
1.4K
This video demonstrates a colorimetric assay to determine the degranulation activity of mast cells. The enzyme released by the mast cells hydrolyzes the substrate and produces a colored product. The degranulation activity of the mast cells was measured as the percentage release of enzymes outside the cell normalized with the total enzyme content in the...

09:49Assessment of Perigenital Sensitivity and Prostatic Mast Cell Activation in a Mouse Model of Neonatal Maternal Separation
9.7K
We are measuring perigenital mechanical sensitivity and mast cell activation in the prostate of male C57BL/6 mice that underwent an early life stress paradigm – neonatal maternal separation, in order to induce a preclinical model of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain...

04:17A Technique to Isolate Primary Mast Cells from a Murine Peritoneal Cavity
1.3K
This video demonstrates a peritoneal lavage method for isolating mature connective tissue-type mast cells from the peritoneal cavity of adult mice. Upon isolating a mixture of primary immune cells from the peritoneal cavity, selective proliferation of mast cells is performed under appropriate culture...

03:34An In Vitro Technique to Visualize Exocytosis of Secretory Granules in Mast Cells
558
This video demonstrates a technique to visualize exocytosis in mast cells. The cells are incubated with FITC-dextran — a fluorescent reporter — which is taken up by cells inside secretory granules (SGs), where the acidic pH quenches its fluorescence. Upon stimulation of granule exocytosis, the medium's higher pH induces reporter fluorescence inside the fused SGs, which is visualized using a fluorescence...
