Impact of Sensitization and Inflammation on the Interaction of Mast Cells With the Intestinal Epithelium in Rats
The density of intestinal mast cells has been reported to increase during inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). As mast cell mediators are known to increase the permeability of epithelial tight junctions, we hypothesized that antigen responses in sensitized animals might be enhanced under inflammatory c...
