Reactivity of mast cells to Mycoplasma salivarium.

C F Parkinson
PMCID: PMC415107  PMID: 1167214

Abstract

Mice were sensitized to Mycoplasma salivarium and then challenged with heterologous and homologous antigens. The number of degranulating tissue mast cells was used to assess the degree of local tissue hyperactivity after antigenic challenge. Significant differences existed between homologous and heterologous antigenic challenges.
