IgE alone promotes human lung mast cell survival through the autocrine production of IL-6
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Mast cells play a key role in asthma and recent evidence indicates that their ongoing activation in this disease is mediated, in part, <it>via </it>IgE in the absence of antigen. In this study we have examined whether IgE...
