Journal ArticleDOI

Mast cell-derived tumor necrosis factor induces hypertrophy of draining lymph nodes during infection.

TL;DR: It is shown that draining lymph nodes of mast cell-deficient mice did not demonstrate swelling after intradermal bacterial challenge, and a critical function for peripheral mast cell–derived tumor necrosis factor in regulating the hypertrophy of draining lymph node during infection is shown.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mast cell activators: a new class of highly effective vaccine adjuvants

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that subcutaneous or nasal administration of small-molecule MC activators with vaccine antigens evokes large increases in antigen-specific serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) responses, which define the MC as an integral sensory arm of the adaptive immune system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mast Cells Augment Adaptive Immunity by Orchestrating Dendritic Cell Trafficking through Infected Tissues

TL;DR: During footpad infection with E. coli in MC-deficient mice, the serum antibody response is significantly diminished and less protective following passive immunization in a urinary tract infection (UTI) model in wild-type mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Combined stimulation with the T helper cell type 2 cytokines interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-10 induces mouse mast cell apoptosis

TL;DR: Evidence is offered of Th2 cytokine–mediated homeostasis whereby these cytokines both elicit and limit allergic responses and Dysregulation of this pathway may play a role in allergic disease and mast cell tumor survival.
