Mast-cell reaction in precancerous mouse skin: an immunological response?

Experientia

|November 15, 1976

Abstract:

The promotion phase of carcinogenesis in mouse skin is accompanied by a mast-cell reaction in the upper dermis. Evidence is presented which suggests that this may be an immunological response, whereby distant lymphocytes migrate to the area and, in the presence of young fibroblasts, become transformed into tissue mast cells.

Mouse Models of Cancer Study

Mice have long served as models for studying human biology and pathology because of their phylogenetic and physiological similarity with humans. They are also easy to maintain and breed in the laboratory, and hence, many inbred strains are now available for research. Studies on mice have contributed immeasurably to our understanding of cancer biology.
The development of transgenic, knockout, and knock-in mice has led to an exponential increase in their use as model organisms in research,...
