Primary human airway epithelial cell-dependent inhibition of human lung mast cell degranulation.

Primary human airway epithelial cell-dependent inhibition of human lung mast cell degranulation.

Chronic mast cell activation is a characteristic feature of asthma. BEAS-2B human airway epithelial cells (AEC) profoundly inhibit both constitutive and IgE-dependent human lung mast cell (HLMC) histamine release. The aim of this study was to examine the regulation of HLMC degranulation by primary A...
