Connective tissue mast cells exhibit time-dependent degranulation heterogeneity.

Kaminer, M S, Murphy, G F, Zweiman, B, Lavker, R M

Previous studies have identified two ultrastructurally distinct forms of mast cell (MC) degranulation following activation. Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated reactions are characterized by a very rapid...

Degranulation of human mast cells induces an endothelial antigen central to leukocyte adhesion.

Klein, L M, Lavker, R M, Matis, W L, Murphy, G F

To understand better the role of mast cell secretory products in the genesis of inflammation, a system was developed for in vitro degranulation of human mast cells in skin organ cultures. Within 2 hr...

Hairless micropig skin. A novel model for studies of cutaneous biology.

Lavker, R. M., Dong, G., Zheng, P. S., Murphy, G. F.

Reported here is the structural and immunohistochemical similarities between the Yucatan hairless micropig (HMP) skin and that of humans. Hairless micropig skin surface was composed of complex...
