Mast Cells Kinetics during Experimental Schistosomiasis mansoni in Mice

Increased number of mast cells at the site of infection is widely regarded as important host defense against parasites. The kinetics of mucosal mast cells and connective tissue mast cells responses were studied in the intestines of 68 female CFLP mice infected with 100 Schistosoma mansoni cercariae. The number of mucosal mast cells and the connective tissue mast cells increased from week 3 and ...

بررسی حضور ماست‌سل‌ها درپریودنتیت مهاجم

Background and Objective: Aggressive periodontitis is a destructive disease that leads to a quick and extensive periodontal tissue loss. Mast cells are known to play important roles in allergic reactions, host defense against bacterial infections, local homeostasis, inflammation, and angiogenesis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between mast cell numbers and aggres...

Roles and relevance of mast cells in infection and vaccination

In addition to their well-established role in allergy mast cells have been described as contributing to functional regulation of both innate and adaptive immune responses in host defense. Mast cells are of hematopoietic origin but typically complete their differentiation in tissues where they express immune regulatory functions by releasing diverse mediators and cytokines. Mast cells are abunda...

The evaluation of the number of mast cells in oral lichen planus

oral lichen planus is diagnosed according to clinical and histopathological characteristics.some times all of the classical  histopathological features can not be seen.in some articles the presence of mast cells have been noted below the epithelium of oral lichen planus patients.the following study was done to evaluate the number of mast cells in the histopathological sections of 20 oral lichen...
