The initiation of mast cell degranulation: activation at the cell membrane. 1975

D C Morrison, and J F Roser, and C G Cochrane, and P M Henson

The low molecular weight mast cell activator, polymyxin B, has been covalently bound to an insoluble matrix of Sepharose 4B. It has been demonstrated that mast cells in preparations of rat peritoneal cells bind to Sepharose 4B-polymyxin B beads but not to control beads. The bound cells are stimulated to degranulate by this interaction at the cell membrane with the resultant release of biogenic amines.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008407 Mast Cells Granulated cells that are found in almost all tissues, most abundantly in the skin and the gastrointestinal tract. Like the BASOPHILS, mast cells contain large amounts of HISTAMINE and HEPARIN. Unlike basophils, mast cells normally remain in the tissues and do not circulate in the blood. Mast cells, derived from the bone marrow stem cells, are regulated by the STEM CELL FACTOR. Basophils, Tissue,Basophil, Tissue,Cell, Mast,Cells, Mast,Mast Cell,Tissue Basophil,Tissue Basophils
D009578 Nitrobenzenes BENZENE derivatives carrying nitro group substituents.
D011113 Polymyxins Basic lipopeptide antibiotic group obtained from Bacillus polymyxa. They affect the cell membrane by detergent action and may cause neuromuscular and kidney damage. At least eleven different members of the polymyxin group have been identified, each designated by a letter. Polymyxin,Polymyxin M

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012701 Serotonin A biochemical messenger and regulator, synthesized from the essential amino acid L-TRYPTOPHAN. In humans it is found primarily in the central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, and blood platelets. Serotonin mediates several important physiological functions including neurotransmission, gastrointestinal motility, hemostasis, and cardiovascular integrity. Multiple receptor families (RECEPTORS, SEROTONIN) explain the broad physiological actions and distribution of this biochemical mediator. 5-HT,5-Hydroxytryptamine,3-(2-Aminoethyl)-1H-indol-5-ol,Enteramine,Hippophaine,Hydroxytryptamine,5 Hydroxytryptamine
D012995 Solubility The ability of a substance to be dissolved, i.e. to form a solution with another substance. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 6th ed) Solubilities
D013451 Sulfonic Acids Inorganic or organic oxy acids of sulfur which contain the RSO2(OH) radical. Sulfonic Acid,Acid, Sulfonic,Acids, Sulfonic
