Mast cells in the skin of normal, hairless and athymic mice
Abstract:
The skin of congenitally athymic nu/nu mice is rich in mast cells which stain metachromatically, contain histamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine, and participate in the PCA reaction. Mast cells of athymic mice have thus the attributes of normal mast cells.
