Effect of the mMCP-4 targeting on MC morphology and ability to degranulate. Peritoneal cells were recovered from mMCP-4+/+ mice and from −/− or +/− littermates. Cytospin slides were prepared from unstimulated cells or after the cells had been subjected to stimulation with either calcium ionophore A23187 (2 μM) or anti-IgE antibody (4 μg/ml) for 30 min. Slides were stained May-Grünwald/Giemsa.
